Corinthians 11:1 the Apostle Paul instructs his readers, “Follow my example, as
I follow the example of Christ.” Paul offered his life and experiences as a
tangible example of what everyday followership of Christ looks like. Acts 23
through 28 records numerous trials encountered by the apostle: a mob’s plot,
trials before the Sanhedrin, Governors Felix, Festus and King Agrippa, a
shipwreck, viper bite, and house arrest. These trails affected Paul physically,
spiritually and emotionally. How Paul responded to these trials is an example
to every Christ-follower.
