1) To show you how fast opinions change, they thought that Paul would die, but the fact that he didn’t die made them quickly change their minds and say that he was a god. So he went from a murderer to being a god in one event. That should give a great indication of how stable or unstable people can be. That is why we live by the truth; only the truth is consistent. Be careful going to extremes, even if your name is Billy Joel.
2) We are getting closer and closer to finishing the Book of Acts. We are in chapter 28, picking it up at verse 7. After Paul and his company are stranded on an island, the island chief is named Publius. He is exceedingly courteous and feeds all of the marooned sailors and prisoners for three days. Yes, even unsaved people can be kind, but still not saved.
3) But the Lord never forgets, and it turns out that Publius’s father was sick. So Paul goes to his father and prays for him. He lays his hands on him, and the father is healed. One of the more bizarre things about this text is that there is no message that accompanies the gospel in the beginning part. But the influence of the Christian walk is not something we keep hidden. After that, Paul started praying for other sick people on the island, and they were all healed.
4) To show appreciation, the people on the island showered all of the visitors with honors, specifically Paul and company. As a result, the island's people helped them prepare for their journey.
