Conclusion Challenging circumstances may come our way in life, but we want to be in God’s will, even when it is not easy.

After these days we got ready and went up to Jerusalem.

When we had come to Jerusalem, the brothers received us gladly.

On the following day Paul went in with us to James and all the elders were present.
