—Acts 16:35-40

In the verses immediately preceding these, Paul and Silas’ jailer received the Gospel, washed their wounds, took them to his home, and gave them food. Paul and Silas received hospitality from a most unlikely source. When they were released by the chief magistrates, they immediately went to the home of Lydia where the brethren were. Both the jailer and Lydia opened their hearts and their homes to these men of God. God is not interested in how fancy your home is or the desirability of its location. He wants us to use whatever we have to help others in their time of need to further the Gospel.
