I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.

 Acts 21:1-17

We sought out the disciples there and stayed with them seven days. Through the Spirit they urged Paul not to go on to Jerusalem. 

Why?

The Holy Spirit gave sign that there is suffering in Jerusalem, but Paul still wanted to get there, why?

“現在我往耶路撒冷去，心甚迫切，不知道在那裏要遇見甚麼事。但知道聖靈在各城裏向我指證說，有捆鎖與患難等待我。我卻不以性命為念，也不看為寶貴，只要行完我的路程，成就我從主耶穌所領受的職事，證明神恩惠的福音。”（徒二○：22-24）"Now I am on my way to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there. But I know that in every city the Holy Spirit warns me that bonds and tribulations await me. Yet I do not count my life of any account to myself, but only that I may complete my race and the ministry which I have received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God." (Acts 20:22-24) 

Missionary is more important than any other, even lost the life

可見聖靈的預告，並不代表聖靈禁止前行。神交付的使命還是最重要的。或問，到底有甚麼使命任務這麼重要，使保羅為之而冒死﹖研究這個問題，我們發現一個非常感人的答案。原來除了福音之外，保羅一直以救濟貧窮的善舉為其重大的使命。現在讓我們將事情的始末由開始說個清楚。

It can be seen that the Holy Spirit's forewarning does not mean that the Holy Spirit prohibits moving forward. The mission entrusted by God is still the most important. Or ask, what mission is so important that Paul risked his life for it? After studying this question, we found a very touching answer. It turns out that in addition to the gospel, Paul has always regarded the charity of helping the poor as his important mission. Now let us explain the whole story from the beginning.

Then Paul answered, “Why are you weeping and breaking my heart? I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.” When he would not be dissuaded, we gave up and said, “The Lord’s will be done.”

When we arrived at Jerusalem, the brothers and sisters received us warmly. 

How?

Do what the mission God has given to me, to preach the gospel.
