Acts 20 General Notes

Structure and formatting

This chapter functions as a way for Paul to say goodbye to the people of Ephesus. He gives them instructions, since they will never see him again.

Special concepts in this chapter

Race

Paul uses the image of a "race" for the Christian life. This is not to say that the Christian life is about winning or coming in first place. Instead, it is a long race that requires discipline and perseverance. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/discipline)

The leading of the Holy Spirit

Christians are to follow the leadership and guidance of the Holy Spirit in their lives.
