Acts 24:10-27
Felix… We’ve often heard that God’s word never goes out void. (Isaiah 55:11) So what about Felix in today’s reading? Evidently he spent a lot of time listening to Paul: (a) But Felix, having a rather accurate knowledge of the Way… (v. 22a). (b) After some days Felix came with his wife Drusilla, who was Jewish, and he sent for Paul and heard him speak about faith in Christ Jesus. (v. 24) (c) So he sent for him often and conversed with him. (v. 26b) Makes me wonder if in the end Felix might have had a change of heart?
Paul: “It is with respect to the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial before you this day.” (v. 21b) Folks, we are all on trial this day, every day, with respect to Jesus’ resurrection. That thought should never be far from our minds.
Slava Bohu!
