One of life’s most important questions
By Terry Broome
While Paul and Silas sang praises to God from within the Roman jail at midnight, a jailer slept while on guard duty, unaware, no doubt, of the importance of the hour. Little did he realize that he would soon encounter the mighty power of God. This man already understood authority, power, responsibility. He was answerable with his very life for the prisoners in this dungeon to those who had authority over him. Soon he was to witness a power that superseded that of Roman emperors, Roman idols, and Roman chains. In response to this Power he would eagerly do whatever it took for salvation.
