Acts 28:16-31 - The Mission Goes On

This last passage in the book of Acts provides a beautiful opportunity to discuss God's Trinitarian self-revelation. By itself, the Trinity may not be obvious in this passage, but when you read it in the context of what has come before , John 12, and Isaiah 6 which both of those passages quote, the Trinity becomes obvious. And because the Trinity is rarely the main point of any particular Bible passage, we need to discuss it when opportunities like this present themselves.

Additionally, we see that, despite our modern Western desire for closure, the book of Acts is incredibly open-ended. The reason for that is apparent especially in the last two verses: the mission goes on.
