       We need not forget the fact that the mystery, the message of the Gospel, can sometimes lead to imprisonment or worse. Unlikely here in the United States, but elsewhere in the world, we know that it is true. That’s what speaking the truth can do because, after all, people who are “following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience,” as Paul told the Ephesians, those persons often don’t want that message to advance. That’s partly due to their heavy sin, and that’s partly because the power of Satan is at work within them. Recall, Paul told the Romans, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek” (Romans 1:16, ESV). Just as against the Gospel is the power of Satan, so is power that carries along the Gospel the power of God.
