With all boldness and without hindrance.

Acts 28:24, 28-31, And some were convinced by what he said, but others disbelieved. ... “Therefore let it be known to you that this salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles; they will listen.”  He lived there two whole years at his own expense, and welcomed all who came to him, proclaiming the kingdom of God and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness and without hindrance.

Paul was able to present the good new to his Jewish brothers and sisters, yet they rejected the amazing truth of the cross, of the price that Christ has paid and of His resurrection and new life. We can’t control the way others will respond, but we can do what Paul did, welcoming all who will come and proclaiming the amazing kingdom of God and teaching them about the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness. He did it from the bondage of a prisoner; can I do it in my freedom?

Give us boldness to proclaim and teach other in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ!
