Acts 16:28

"But Paul cried with. loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here" Notice Paul's attitude. This Jailer had inflicted punishment upon them. Other men might have said, "It serves him right for mistreating me", or, "he's getting what he deserves." Apparently enough light existed for Paul to see what the Jailer was about to do. Obviously, Paul was not. believer in suicide. "Paul, whose loud voice snatched him back, in the very nick of time, from the brink of eternity" (McGarvey p. 101). Unfortunately the advocates of suicide and euthanasia forget two very important facts, people tend to overreact and assume the worst (like the jailer), and Tthe vast majority of people are completely unprepared to meet God (like the jailer).
