Acts 24:1-9
The high priest Ananias and lawyer Tertullus etc, they brought their charges against Paul before the governor. First they praised Felix is excellent and they were under the peace of Felix for a long time.
They charged Paul was a trouble maker, stirring up riots among the Jews all over the world.
Felix: The violent but ineffective governor of Judea. He was eventually recalled to Rome for mishandling riots in Gaesarea. His residence was the palace built by Herod the Great.
Five days after the transfer, Paul's case comes before the Roman governor, Felix.
Tertullus opens ingratiatingly(溫和地) for the Jewish prosecution.
Why?
Tertullus flattered the governor for they want to make their desire be done.
When an enemy charges us they can use any false word and witness to accuse us.
This world are filled with unjust and many false and cheating. We need the wisdom from the Lord and show the truth on the world.
How?
May I can do the justice things and show the truth in my life to honor the name of the Lord. God is my protector and my hope.
