The Untouchable Man

You there!

You’re going to be bound and tied.

I am ready not only to be in chains, but also to die.

(Acts 21:13)

You’re going to be shipwrecked.

I’m going to be saved, and the sailors too.

(Acts 27)

You’re going to get bitten by a snake on that island.

I’m going to wipe it away.

(Acts 28:3)

You’re going to have a thorn in your flesh that will bother you all your life.

His grace is sufficient for me.

(2 Corinthians 12:9)

You’re going to be abandoned and left alone.

The Lord stands by me and gives me strength.

(2 Timothy 4:17)

We’ll remind you of your horrible past.

Anyone in Christ is a new creation. The old has passed away.

(2 Corinthians 5:17)

We’ll leave you alone.

For me to live is Christ.

(Philippians 1:21)

We’ll kill you.

To die is gain.

(Philippians 1:21)

We’ll torture you.

I consider that our present sufferings are not comparable to the glory that will be revealed to us.

(Romans 8:18)

We’ll imprison you.

I’m going to  preach to all your guards and prisoners and we’ll be singing in worship together.

(Acts 16)

We’ll stone you.

I’m going to get up and continue preaching.

(Acts 14)

You’re going to be beheaded.

Where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O death, is your sting?

(1 Corinthians 15:55)

How are you like this? How are you untouchable?

It is no longer I.
