Why Doing Good Brings Opposition: Jesus Sets Captives Free (Acts 16)

In today's Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson continues the revival journey in Acts 16, in the Roman colony of Philippi. After Paul casts the demon out of the slave girl, her owners realize their hope of making money is gone, and they seize Paul and Silas and drag them before the authorities. Pastor John names three kinds of opposition to expect when we seek first the kingdom of God: demonic opposition, human opposition from unbelievers, and human opposition from believers, whose own pride or jealousy can lead them to tear down the work of God. This episode shows opposition from outside. Pastor John also reflects on how Jesus, who came to set the captives free, has inspired Christians through history to stand against slavery. None of us is perfect, but if we stick to Jesus and what He teaches, we will be on the right side of setting captives free.
