Acts 27:27 ,Paul (1)

• Paul’s witness during the shipwreck• Destination: Italy• Purpose: delivery of Paul • Julius :a centurion of the AugustanRegimen• Name of the ship:Adramyttuim• The projected course: the coasts of Asia,Sidon,shelter of

Cypres,Cicilia, Pamphylia,Myra (city of Lycia)• Change of the ship to Alexandrian ship to Italy• Cnidus,,,strong winds

• Shelter of Crete off Salone• Fair Haven, near the city of Lasea• Strong winds, storm• Paul’s warning = not to sail !!! Predict the

disaster , loss of cargos, ship and lives and warning against sail

•Centurion: not listen to Paul but yielded to helmsman and owner of the ship

•The majority opinion; sail to Phoenix (Harbor of Crete)

Take Home Points(1)

•Majority opinion can be

wrong !

• Majority opinion can not be right all the time !

Acts 27:27 ,Paul (2)

• Euloclydon:the tempestuous head wind• Shelter of Clauda

•Shipwreck: throw away the cargos,

• ship’s tackle

•Paul’s words:1.take heart 2. no loss of life 3.loss of the ship

Take Home Point

• When the disaster hits, At the time of

Real Emergency, under the circumstance of no time to lose, Hang onto the

only really important thing to you.

• Ask this Question?

• What is dearest to your own heart and soul ?

• The very next action at the time of real Emergency is dependent on what is the

dearest thing to own heart .

• What is inside of yourself will come out spontaneously ( without inhibition or restraint) at

the time of real Emergency.

• Emergency= no cover up , surface peeled, mask removed, make up removed, = real self revealed,

The dearest to your heart

Action

Mind

Body

inside

outside

Take Home Points(2)• At the time of Emergency, You must dump,

or throw away ,or remove any unnecessary , non-essential materials from you in order to lighten the load , burden,

or weight just to save your own life in a hurry !

• Time of Emergency, no time to lose !

• Act immediately or too late for any thing

Important Question(1)

•What is really essential material to you ?

• Really important material to you = what ?

Important Question(2)

•What do you run away with you in your hand at the time of real Emergency ?

What do you grab in your own hands when you run away for your own life at the

time of Emergency ?

Important Question(3)

•It is really sobering question for everyone to think about and act.

• It is important to know what kind decision you make today because

The decision for today determines

the direction of course for

tomorrow.

Decision and destiny (1)

•Your decision determines your

destiny !

Decision and destiny (2)

decision Destiny

Acts 27:27 ,Paul (3)

• Day 14 • At Midnight the sailor sensed that they are

drawing near the some land

• Midnight : salvation, life not death,(+)

• Sailors : attempt to escape from the ship!

• Paul’s word:" Unless you stay in the ship, you can not be saved”

• The soldier cut the rope of the skiff (no way of escape, no other alternative)

• Many choices = many decisions to make

•No alternative = one decision to make

one direction to go

Acts 27:27 ,Paul (4)

•Day 14 th: Paul’s instruction and recommendation to his fellow soldiers, prisoners and

others; take nourishment (eat) for this is for your

survival• Paul gave thanks to God in the presence of all and

ate the bread under the difficult circumstances (shipwreck)

• The total number of persons on board=276• All ate and encouraged

Acts 27:27 ,Paul (5)

•After the meal and threw away the foods (cargo) into the sea to lighten the ship

• Fatal shipwreck near the land

• Everyone (100 %) got to the island

safely either by boards or swimming• 100 % survival as Paul’s prediction

Take home Point• Survival requires action. • By boards= hanging onto things floating or

floatable= piggy bag or join in or cash into something dependable, something reliable , something firm, something solid. Something stable. you are not in power. you are not in driving seat. you are not in charge. somebody else in charge of your life.

• By swimming= you do your part, own effort, use up all available skills and resources

Acts 27:27 ,Paul (6)•Day 14 , midnight: salvation

• How many days for spring feast ?

• Answer = 52 days from pass over to Pentecost

• How many days for fall feast ?

• answer= 22 days from trumpet to tabernacle,

Fall = 22 days

•Spring feast is supposed to be the

same as fall feast in meaning .• There is a discrepancy between the days of

spring feast duration and days of fall feast duration ( 52 days vs. 22 days )

•How do we reconcile the difference?
