The Girdle of Paul
Acts 21:8-15
And the next day we that were of Paul's company departed, and came to Caesarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist…


An admonitory memorial for all his successors, to remind them of the —

I. APOSTOLIC FIDELITY, with which he was bound to the Lord, even to death.

II. APOSTOLIC BONDS, in which he must experience the hatred of the world.

III. APOSTOLIC ZEAL, with which he was at all times girt, to hasten to the combat appointed to him.

(K. Gerok.)
