Those who thought that Paul's Roman imprisonment would hinder the gospel found that the opposite was the case. What they intended as a means of containing the message of Jesus further unleashed it. The guards chained to Paul became a captive audience. God has strategically placed every one of us where we live, where we work, where we go to school, and even where we socialize so that through us, the gospel, that is the good news that Jesus Christ died to save sinners, may be advanced.
