Paul and his shipmates stay on the island of Malta for three months. While they are there, Paul is bitten by a serpent, but he suffers no ill-effects. He also heals many people. Once again, the power of God performed through His miracles presents a doorway to presenting the Good News.
Once in Rome, Paul speaks to the Jewish people. Some listen, most do not. This fulfills prophecy found in Isaiah. The people will refuse to listen and repent. However, God's offer of spiritual healing is always available to anyone who repents and believes.
So, what can we learn from this? Always, always keep your faith. Always, always rely on God. The storms in life will come, but with God we can overcome.
