As Dave concludes Acts 24 and transitions into the start of Acts 25, he illustrates that when Felix was preparing to hand Paul over to Festus, there was a two-year gap between this event. Therefore, Acts Chapter 24, verses 24 through 27, span a period of two years. The irony is that within these four verses, two years pass and not much happens. Do you know what this implies? It suggests that when dealing with God, things won’t always progress at a rapid pace, like in a microwave. Sometimes, nothing significant occurs for an extended period. The appropriate response to this is acceptance. Deal with it.
2) As we delve into Acts chapter 25, we begin at verse 6. This remarkable section of scripture commences with “8 or 10 days later.”. This is the same principle we encounter when dealing with jugs that held 30 or 40 gallons. People may question why it isn’t specific or exact. The answer is simple: it was 8 or 10 days later, and the author didn’t consider it important to be so precise. That’s the nature of holy writ; what is communicated is what needs to be communicated.
