Paul Preaching, Chained to a Guard

Acts closes without telling us what happened to the Apostle Paul. We are not sure how long he lived. We do not know how long he was able to go on ministering unhindered. We cannot even be certain he ever made it to Spain. Acts essentially ends with a big "to be continued." Why? Because Luke did not intend to write a biography of Paul. As he was being carried along by Holy Spirit, Luke purposely described the acts of the Lord Jesus Christ accomplished by the Spirit. He set out to describe the unstoppable progress of the gospel. The book of Acts then, is about all that Jesus continued to do after that point. The ministry of Jesus continues today through his church.
