Acts 20:24 But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.
Paul had spent a long time going round many places spreading the gospel; but in almost every place he had the same message being given to him: chains and tribulations await him in Jerusalem.
Does Paul run the other way? No, he continues forward where the Holy Spirit is leading him!
Would you be willing to walk into an effective ambush just because Christ asked you to?
