Acts 28

Paul on the Island of Malta. The snake could not destroy him; and Satan - the greatest serpent - cannot destroy Christians. Paul arrives at Rome. Paul preaches under guard at Rome. Paul says that sometimes religious people can become very hardened to the message of spirit and truth from Jesus (Isaiah 6:9,10). There is some measure of a natural "spiritual blindness and deafness" in people towards God, but it can be exacerbated by cold religious training. Only Jesus can open our eyes.
