Grace for your spirit January 15, 2009

While Paul was saying this in his defense, Festus said in a loud voice, "Paul, you are out of your mind! Your great learning is driving you mad." Acts 26:24

While Paul was a prisoner on his way to Rome, he had the opportunity to preach the truth to three Roman officials. Felix, Festus, and Agrippa sat and listen to God’s Word of Righteousness and Judgment. The message of the gospel, fueled by the Holy Spirit was so powerful that it could not be denied. So when they couldn’t deny the message, they attacked the messenger. Paul didn’t mind. He called himself a "fool for Christ". When we have the opportunity to preach the truth of Christ, many may think we’re crazy too. We may not fit into the social mold of this world. This is great. Better for them to think we are crazy than to be dead on the vine.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
