Now Saul, now Paul, sleeps in Philip's guest room. Only the gospel writes scenes like that. Then Agabus walks down from Judea, takes Paul's belt, and ties his own hands and feet with it. Straight out of the prophet's playbook. Ezekiel packed his luggage. Jeremiah wore a yoke. Agabus binds himself. The man who owns this belt is going to be tied up like this. Notice what Agabus doesn't say. He doesn't say don't go. He just says this is what will happen. But everyone hearing it begs Paul to turn around. Paul almost breaks under their tears. Then he says the sentence that settles it. I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus. The room finally falls silent with one surrendered prayer: the Lord's will be done.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/mDCSf6VLcVTj9DA1o6CKS_loTRTZ8WlreJzhCflj8BA/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS84M2Mw/NjZlMTQ5MDE0MmYw/M2Q3Y2YwZmZkM2Fm/N2M4MC5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
