Negotiations ended
Meditation Points:
1. At times the same message or event can be seen from two, opposite perspectives. Be careful to look for God’s perspective.
2. People of authority often make mistakes of judgment because they fail to look for all the evidence. The greater mistake is to deny making the first one.
3. What has God given you naturally, like citizenship, that you should be using for His glory?

Acts 16:35-40
35And when it was day, the magistrates sent the serjeants, saying, Let those men go.
36And the keeper of the prison told this saying to Paul, The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore depart, and go in peace.
37But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us openly uncondemned, being Romans, and have cast us into prison; and now do they thrust us out privily? nay verily; but let them come themselves and fetch us out.
38And the serjeants told these words unto the magistrates: and they feared, when they heard that they were Romans.
39And they came and besought them, and brought them out, and desired them to depart out of the city.
40And they went out of the prison, and entered into the house of Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
