S – The following night, the Lord stood by him and said, “Have courage! For as you have testified about me in Jerusalem, so it is necessary for you to testify in Rome.”
Acts 23:11 CSB
O – Commentary: The importance of this vision was not only in its comfort and encouragement (cf. 18:9–10) but also in the confirmation it gave of Paul’s plans to go to Rome. The gospel of Christ would literally go from Jerusalem to Rome by means of the Apostle Paul. This was the fourth vision the Lord gave Paul (cf. 9:4–6; 16:9; 18:9–10).
“Acts,” in The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures
A – God has a plan. With Rome being the most powerful place in the world at the time, the gospel is entrusted to one man. But the ability to go “to the ends of the earth” just became a possibility.
God has a plan for you and I. Where something seems impossible, He bring the “possibility.”
R – Lord, I thank you that you have no limits. You are full of grace and mercy on me. You have a plan and purpose for me. Job 42:2 says “Your purpose will not be thwarted.” Nothing can stop you. Help me to align with your purposes today. Help my faith to grow beyond my comfort zone today.
