8-24-2014 Acts 26:24-29
S. 24
And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art
beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad.25 But he said, I am not mad,
most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness.26 For the
king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am
persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not
done in a corner.27 King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou
believest.28 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a
Christian.29 And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all
that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except
these bonds.
O. Festus
thinks Paul to be out of his mind (mad) and Agrippa is almost persuaded to
become a Christian.
A. Some
will reject and some will accept the message of faith in God. We must tell,
tell and re-tell so that many can be saved. Time is short. The lost are many.
The workers are so few. We must not be self-centered, looking after our own
needs only; we must spread the good news to the lost.
P. Father;
Open our eyes and let us see how few are ready to stand at your Judgment Seat. Stir
our souls with a passion for the lost and dyeing. Use us Lord while there is
time. Amen.
