8th Year 12-13 Edition 3 – Acts 26

Dec 21_2012 Acts 26
Dear Saints,
Today we prayerfully read in, Acts 26. The promise by God of our savior Jesus, is Paul’s chief defense before king Agrippa. Paul tells of his conversion and preaching to all people. Festus and Agrippa convinced of Paul’s innocence. ”30 Then the king rose, and the governor and Bernice and those who were sitting with them. 31 And when they had withdrawn, they said to one another, “This man is doing nothing to deserve death or imprisonment.” 32 And Agrippa said to Festus, “This man could have been set free if he had not appealed to Caesar.”” Acts 26:30-32. English Standard Version (ESV). Some may say that Paul’s own words delivered him to king Agrippa. I think it was God’s will that he was delivered to the king and his court, after all God’s gift is to all men. “And while they were there, the time came for her to give birth. And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.” Luke 2:6-7 ESV. Think of this Paul was testifying of the same Christ Jesus, that was born to Mary! Please help us in keeping the first thing first. The gift of God, salvation through the blood of our Lord Jesus. With the promise of life that comes with faith in Jesus, comes purpose to share him with all the people on earth. People of all stations, races, creeds, accomplishments, nothing was created without our God. Nothing or no one can be saved, without Jesus!

“[The Birth of Jesus Christ] In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, to be registered with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child.” Luke 2:1, 4-5 ESV .
