Acts 27:1-11
When it was decided that we would sail for Italy, Paul and some other prisoners were handed over to a centurion named Julius.
Paul warned them, but the centurion, instead of listening to what Paul said, followed the advice of the pilot and of the owner of the ship.
The voyage to Rome is made in three ships: a coaster from Caesarea to Myra, on the south coast of Turkey; a cargo vessel (carrying grain on the regular run from Alexandria in Egypt to Rome) from to Myra to Malta; and another from Malta to Puteoli in the Bay of Naples. Luke gives a super account of the eventful passage.
Why?
Because centurion believed the expert of the pilot and the ship owner instead of Paul's warning.
Even Julius kindly treated Paul, but he did not trusted in Paul's word. For the identity of Paul is a prisoner.
Even we are right but do not insist our mind and experience, but have mercy to others who do not have the vision of the truth. On the sight of the Lord to look this world and people.
Christian has good friend but does not mean the his friends may easy turn to a Christian.
How?
Let the life of Christian could be showing to my friend.
