!SURPRISING SALVATIONS!
THE PHILIPPIAN JAILER

ACTS 24
HOW THE JAILER’S SUDDEN
SALVATION WAS SURPRISING:

1. THE JAILER THOUGHT HIS LIFE WAS OVER—He was about to kill himself, rather than face the brutal consequences for allowing his prisoners to escape.

2. IT WAS DARK, AND HE WAS IN THE DARK—They had not escaped, after all!

3. WHAT A RELIEF! HE WAS THANKFUL, BUT TO WHOM?—Paul and Silas showed him.

Paul is not just telling us to be joyful under persecution- he lived it!
