I’m Gonna Sword Myself S5e105 Acts16:27

Imagine having a job that if you fail in it for a single day, you would be eager to take a sword and stick it into your own body so violently that you would kill yourself. Where do you find a job like that? Try being a jailer for the Romans.  If you lose any prisoners overnight, you are certain to die a death so horrible at the hands of the Romans, that you'd be willing to fall on your sword instantly to avoid that certain, horrible, definitive fate.

How about if ALL the prisoners get free and then use their liberty not to escape, but to save YOUR LIFE? This would certainly get your attention.  You'd consider your fear of the Romans to consider what makes these previous prisoners tick.  You'd maybe trade your fear of the Romans for the fear of God.  

We cannot sugar-coat this story.  Life and death are at stake.  Everybody is brave today.  Paul and co. are brave by worshipping in bad circumstances; the other prisoners are brave by STAYING after getting their freedom; the jailer is brave by NOT killing himself right away.  Please listen for 7 minutes to this dramatic history.  Subscribe at bewithme.us and bewithme.us@gmail.
