1) As we approach the concluding sections of the Book of Acts, we find ourselves in Chapter 25, Verse 23. Here, Festus has orchestrated a grand ceremony for King Agrippa and Bernice. He has made it clear that he intends to send Paul to Caesar, despite having nothing substantial to write about him. In Festus's opinion, Paul has done nothing deserving of death, but he must send some information along with the prisoner. Otherwise, Festus could become less festive.
2) In Chapter 26, Verse 1, Agrippa tells Paul that he may speak. Over the past 45 years, I've interacted with numerous Christians who are deeply concerned that they won't know what to say when given the opportunity. However, this is where the Holy Spirit takes control. Believers don't need to worry about how or what they say when they are placed in a divine appointment to speak on behalf of the Lord. In fact, Luke Chapter 12, Verse 12 teaches us that the Holy Spirit will guide us in what to say.
3) I find it both iconic and ironic that Paul begins his defense with a gesture of his hand. While I'm uncertain about the specific gesture, being Jewish, it could be one of the 10,000 gestures we use. Paul opens his defense by letting Agrippa know that he appreciates the opportunity to speak, especially since Agrippa is an expert in Jewish customs. Even Paul, who knows exactly what to say and when to say it, asks Agrippa for patience. This is a good hint for all Christians.
4) Paul takes the story back to his early childhood and tells Agrippa about his training and membership in the Pharisees, the strictest sect of the Jewish faith. He states that he is on trial simply for looking forward to the fulfillment of God's promises made to our ancestors. With the wisdom of the Holy Spirit, Paul asserts that his trial is because he believes that God will fulfill His promises. Here's a challenge: Do you believe God will fulfill His promises to His church and to you? You might have to take a stand for that belief. But fear not, because the Lord will always stand with you, forevermore.
