聖經閱讀：使徒行傳28:16-31 現代中譯本|合和本

最後保羅到達了羅馬城，他那時候是一名囚犯。今天的經文閱讀告訴我們，在羅馬「保羅得到准許，跟看守他的那個兵士住另外一個地方」（第16b節）。
保羅會到羅馬是上帝的計畫，雖然保羅是一名囚犯，但是他仍然向遇到的人分享耶穌，保羅並沒有因為他所處的環境而停止傳講耶穌。第30與31節說：「保羅在自己所租的房子住了兩年。凡來訪問的人，他都接待。他大膽地宣揚上帝國的信息，教導有關主耶穌基督的事，沒有受到甚麼阻礙。」。

也許你在生活中正面對困境，也許你生病了，或是有家庭或財務問題，但是你仍然可以成為耶穌的宣教士。事實上，透過你的困境，上帝也許會幫助你遇見需要認識祂的人。 —JK

「就這樣，我們到了羅馬。羅馬的信徒們聽到我們抵達的消息……保羅一看見他們就感謝上帝，更加壯膽。」 使徒行傳28:14b-15

禱告：親愛的上帝，無論今天發生了什麼事，請幫助我向人分享耶穌。奉主的名，阿們！

Bible Reading: Acts 28:16-31
Wednesday, March 2, 2016

　Finally Paul reached the city of Rome. Paul was a prisoner. Our Bible Reading tells us that in Rome “Paul was allowed to live alone. But a soldier stayed with him to guard him” (verse 16b).
It was God's plan for Paul to be in Rome. Even though Paul was a prisoner, he continued to share about Jesus with the people he met. Paul did not let his circumstances keep him from talking about Jesus. Verses 30 and 31 say, “Paul stayed two full years in his own rented house. He welcomed all the people who came and visited him. He told them about God's kingdom and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ. He was very bold, and no one tried to stop him from speaking.”

Maybe you are facing bad circumstances in your life. Maybe you are sick or having family or financial problems. You can still be a missionary for Jesus. In fact, through your bad circumstances, God may help you meet people who need to know about Him. —JK

“Finally, we came to Rome. The brothers and sisters in Rome heard about us...When Paul saw these believers, he thanked God and felt encouraged.” Acts 28:14b-15

PRAYER: Dear God, no matter what happens today, please help me to share with someone about Jesus. In His name. Amen.
