“Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house. And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway. And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.”
-Acts 16:29-34
Paul and Silas have been in prison. They were praying and singing praises to the Lord. All of a sudden there was an earthquake. The prisoners are unshackled. Now what? Run! No. They stay put. They jailor supposed everyone is gone and that he’ll die because of it happening on his watch. Then he hears something. They’re still there! He runs in and well...you see what happens. Not only does this man trust Jesus for salvation, but his whole household is saved! Just think about what might have never happened if Paul and Silas would have been in prison screaming and yelling about being wrongfully accused. How did he know to ask them about salvation? Because they never quit talking about it and showing it in their lives. God Bless from The Batter’s Box!
