On an island, that was a home to some natives, and the location which Paul’s ship had gotten wrecked, there exists some mysteries that was strongly believed by the people. This land has a particular snake breed, the one which is actually metaphysical, and there was a certainty about the effect of the venom of this snake. Death and surely death, was the outcome of the previous people that this snake had bitten, and the major thing that can attract the snake to any man is the evil act of the man. It’s sure that Paul had murdered someone before, and only a person who had committed a murder, that the snake finds and bit, this happened to him suddenly. 

Part of the murder in which this apostle had been involved was, the killing of Stephen, the committed Christian that was wrongly killed. This death that Paul and others brought upon this man, was the real sign that brought this metaphysical snake to come to him, to hurt him. But wonderfully, the man was the lord’s chosen, the anointing of the lord upon him, had taken away all the pain, therefore he was above dying. Instead of him falling down in disgrace, his survival served as a testimony to the people of the lord, he wonderfully survived the mystery, that was never overcome. 

Our God is the one who created the venom in that viper, and he therefore has the power to remove the pain from his system, he is totally above it. The land as it was called Melita, was the land that this mystery happened, and what took them to the place was an accident, where they also got served by miracle. Within the short time, the lord that delivered them from the ship wreck, was even able to save him from the hand of the mysterious viper. 

If he had not known Christ, and if he was a backslider or an unfaithful person, the viper could have taken his life just at that moment. This teaches faithfulness, and being truthful to the lord, he really made it alive, due to the grace of God, as his chosen and faithful servant. The judgment of death was delivered by the mysterious snake, and the people believed in the power so much, that they already concluded that he would die. They also said he must be a wicked person, and particularly a murderer, therefore the judgment was rightly given in their island. 

These men were wrong eventually, and they changed the claim of a murderer to a claim of a god, they called him a god. In the past, men who did unusual things, or maybe some unusual thing happened to them, and they survive, they were always called gods. The apostle reached the status of god, according to the natives, and this transition led to the glorification of the name of God, in that land. If this thought of death could turn to testimony, and the man outlive the situation, the lord can do the same for us in the face of danger.

To be saved, baptized, and living godly, is the wisdom, which is like a folly to others, they are yet to be wise, until they are saved. The messages of gospel, that came directly from Jesus, was planned, and made to be the only salvation, for everyone, men and women, must see this as word of wisdom. Being intelligent, cannot solve the puzzle, behind salvation, just because, a man is not given the chance, beyond that which was given from above. Only the privileged, could make themselves, to turn to the righteous way, and bear the salvation, that was given through the lord, for everyone who believes. 

Believers are therefore, the wisest of all people, by the justification of the lord, he had called them lucky, and even the people with wisdom, for accepting the redemption. Being redeemed, they became privileged, to be saved out of the numerous people, that were called, some of them were not given too many chances. Paul asked them to understand his messages, from salvation to holiness, that they are all gotten from the wisdom of God, the source of redemption. All reasonable words, and great admonishing statements, that came from that man, were full of wisdom, and secrets, of spiritual kingdom. 

And to be like Paul, as being wise, among all qualities, a person must decide to accept Christ at first, and all the great things will follow, in that order. But, for a man to have a thought about accepting Jesus, he must have been blessed with the wisdom from heaven, at first, this is because, only that wisdom could make a person to realize he is a sinner. There is no regard for doing good, by some people, due to the fact that, they had not understood what being good entails. By not thinking about changing from bad to good, that shows, they are still foolish, and are not benefitting from the grace of understanding, from God. 

Extremists in evil, are completely choked, by the devil, and he had made them, not to understand the severity, of all or any of their evil. Then, until the bad understands the mystery behind evil, and what could save him, he will serve under the devil, with his blindfolded eyes. This mysteries were not understood, by the men, who died before the time of Christ, therefore, they are quite unlucky, to miss such a tremendous grace. Paul making it known that, the mysteries were then given to us, to see and to understand, and become the privileged persons, due to the love of God. 

The word that was preached, across the synagogues, the churches, the different halls, were all made from heaven, which is the knowledge of the almighty. And today, men and women that admonishes others, or reveal mysteries to others, are getting such from the same God, by the chance of his love. All privileges, in words, prayers, miracles, and other spiritual benefits, are made from the wisdom of the lord, and we should be wise to know that, they were all prepared for us.
