Acts 26:24-32
What I am saying is true and reasonable. The king is familiar with these things, and I can speak freely to him. I am convinced that none of this has escaped his notice, because it was not done in a corner.
Short time or long - I pray God that not only you but all who are listening to me today may become what I am, except for these chains.
The king rose, and with him the governor and Bernice and those sitting with them. They left the room, and they said, "this man is not doing anything that deserves death or imprisonment."
The governor and the king agree that 'this man could have been set free if he had not appealed to Caesar'
Why?
At this point he is interrupted. 'You are out of your mind.' shouts Festus. Agrippa laughs it off - he cannot afford to lose face with Festus or to offend the Jews by denying the prophets.
Paul has faith to speak freely to governor. For Paul knew what is true and Paul is sure that nothing of what he has said sounds crazy to him.
Paul can let the unbelievers turn to him, his faith and focus on the mission of the Lord is greatest than any others.
Whom I can preach gospel to and what can I do to him.
How?
Give me the faith and strength like Paul to preach gospel, no matter what the situation is. May my friends or people around me may become what I am, a Christian.
