Acts 27:1-28:16 Unusual kindness

Paul received kindness from Julius enabling him to go to his friends who could provide for his needs.  Early on, Paul is not listened to, because the danger is not quite as real as in v21-25.  

During the times of testing and danger on the boat, the sailors were dishonourable, whereas Paul remained honourable.  He behaved in a godly manner, where others around him were ungodly.

Paul found opportunities for service in Malta - he received kindness, but also was able to heal Publius' father and the other sick of the island.  

Paul had wanted to reach Rome and finally manages it.  There have been many obstacles, but God has brought him there.  Now, God's purpose has been fulfilled and glory should be given to Him.
