Boldy and Without Hindrance

Finally, and providentially, Paul is in Rome. God’s ruling hand has orchestrated the events of Paul’s life to land him in the capital city of the Roman Empire. Rome is in its golden era- a city of wealth, strength, literacy, artistry, but unimaginably immoral, decadent, and pagan. Paul would write Ephesians, Philippians, Philemon, Colossians while in Rome, in fact while in prison. He also wrote 2 Timothy (his last writing) while imprisoned in Rome. Praise God, the gospel would be planted at the very center of strategic trade and government and would spread across the world!
