In chains, Paul declared his testimony of faith in Jesus Christ of Nazareth as he stood on the stairway of the Fortress Antonia with soldiers posted around him. His Jewish audience listened in silence as he spoke to them in Aramaic until he demonstrated affinity toward the Gentiles. Immediately, a great disturbance broke out again. This kind was the kind of uprising that the Chief Captain, Claudius Lysias, was responsible to crush. In order to do so, he needed to know what kind of criminal would cause such a disruption of the peace. As Paul faced a torturous interrogation, he announced his Roman citizenship. This allowed for Paul to eventually take the Gospel to Rome and to Caesars household. Like Paul, we too should use the freedoms of our citizenship to serve our Savior and not self.
