Read Acts 26:22-29.


In his defense before King Agrippa, Paul seeks to convince everyone listening to be followers of Jesus Christ. That is to be the goal of all of his followers - to help others hear his message and serve his mission. Paul took every opportunity to share the transforming power of Christ with anyone who would listen. Of course, he was risking his life for a message that was offensive to the Jews and unbelievable to the Gentiles. Jesus also had the same response. Paul was more concerned for the salvation of strangers than for the removal of his own chains. Paul wasn’t deterred by the brush off of King Agrippa. Paul’s response is a good example for us as we tell others about God’s plan of salvation. A sincere personal appeal or personal story can show the depth of our concern and God can use that to soften hard hearts. Our job is to share the message. The response is totally in God’s hands.


Personal Worship Option:


Look for ways to share your journey with Christ with someone today.
