Julius the Centurion: Kindness in the Midst of Crisis

A devotional reflection on Julius’s compassion toward Paul.

Romans in the New Testament

Kindness opens doors for God’s work. Julius treated Paul with unusual kindness, allowing him to visit friends and later protecting him from execution during the shipwreck. His compassion became a channel for God’s purposes.

Julius courteously entreated Paul. (Acts 27:3)

Be ye kind one to another. (Ephesians 4:32)

The Lord is gracious. (Psalm 145:8)

Christian Application

This devotional encourages believers to show kindness even in stressful circumstances. Practice Christlike kindness today, especially under pressure.

Sample Prayer

Lord, make me kind in crisis. Use my compassion to reflect Your heart. Amen.

Hymns for Romans in the New Testament

This devotional pairs well with the hymns Make Me a Blessing by Ira Wilson, Take My Life and Let It Be by Frances Havergal, and Blest Be the Tie That Binds by John Fawcett.
