Acts 21:1-26
Paul said "What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be imprisoned but even to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus." And since he would not be persuaded, they ceased and said, "Let the will of the Lord be done."
Further voyaging takes Paul and company to Tyre, and another parting, then down the coast to Ptolemais, and Caesarea. where Philip is still living. Nothing can shake Paul's determination to go to Jerusalem, not even a prophecy of his fate.
On the arrival Paul receives a warm welcome from his fellow-Christians, including the church leaders. But garbled tales are circulating, that Paul teaches Jews to abandon circumcision and the law. If he openly identifies with a group of men under a strict vow all will see that he respects and observes the law.
Why?
The rumor are wrong to Paul, but Paul do not care his life.
Paul has devoted his life to the Lord and doing the ministry received from the Lord.
For Paul's faith and his enthusiasm we can be Christians today.
How?
Thanks Lord for God loves us through Jesus Christ and Apostles.
