Hello,
Review of Romans 15:17-33
What are the two things a servant of God should hope for?... More on this later.
Paul glorifies God and gives him all the credit for any Gentile souls he might be able to gain to Him.
He also does not dare to speak of those things God has not allowed him to experience. What does this mean? God will only allow you to share what you have experienced in your life. Can you share with others about living as a believer unless you're a believer yourself? CERTAINLY NOT!! This is a message for us my fellow young believers as well: To experience God, we need to be close to the things of God, such as reading and following His Word, prayer, fellowship with Godly friends.
Paul continues, having preferred to go to "Yugoslavia", where he's able to fully preach the Gospel, without the burden of other, perhaps incorrect teaching.
Now, he has his eyes to go to Rome, to the center of politics and religion at that time, to declare the Gospel there. But first on to Jerusalem, where he has a duty to the poor among the saints there. He asks for protection and deliverance while in Jerusalem, because he's aware of the dangers there. He is delivered from the dangers (he did get to Rome after all), where he's able to continue proclaiming the Gospel.
So...what are the two things a servant of God should hope for?? Death and reward!! Philippians 1:21
