Conclusion: Wherever in the providence of God the Christian is put, he is placed there to do a work for God and to represent Jesus Christ. Blessing may come to thousands out of seeming calamity that befalls God's true servants. God's ways are past finding out, but let His servant be confident always in His promises and ready to do every good work wherever the waves of events may land him.

Key Word: Healing (Acts 28:9) and teaching (Acts 28:31).

Strong Verses: Acts 28:25; Acts 28:26; Acts 28:27; Acts 28:28.

Striking Facts: Acts 28:31. Paul stuck to his text «Jesus Christ» to the end. Let those who are tempted to diverge from that which is their main business to «preach not ourselves but Christ» ask themselves of what concern it is to Jesus Christ and His kingdom, to preach anything but HIM.
