Acts 28

As we finish the Book of Acts, Paul and Luke finally get to Rome via a pit stop in a small island called Malta.  There they encounter a native tribe that shows them unusual kindness and for three days entertained the 276 from the ship and showed them great hospitality!  

As Paul is attacked by a deadly viper the natives wait for his eminent death.   When Paul shakes off the snake and lives the people are sure that their pagan god "Justice" will not allow him to live.  Not only does Paul live but heals others on the island in Jesus Name!  

When Paul finally arrives in Rome he is met again with resistance as the Jews once again do not "have ears to hear"  the truth of the Gospel and that Jesus wants to set them free!  The book of Acts ends with Paul proclaiming the Kingdom of God as the Gospel is taken to the "ends of the earth" and Yaweh reclaims the nations for his own.
