Dec 20_2012 Acts 25
Dear Saints,
Today we prayerfully read in, Acts 25. Paul is brought before Festus and feeling he had wronged no one Paul appeals to Caesar. Festus finding no reason to punish him, confers with Agrippa about Paul’s supposed trespasses. ”25 But I found that he had done nothing deserving death. And as he himself appealed to the emperor, I decided to go ahead and send him. 26 But I have nothing definite to write to my lord about him. Therefore I have brought him before you all, and especially before you, King Agrippa, so that, after we have examined him, I may have something to write. 27 For it seems to me unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not to indicate the charges against him.”” Acts 24:24-27. English Standard Version (ESV). Just like Paul, when sharing the true gospel of Jesus, we may be accused of trespass. Because we serve the one true God, if we depend on the leading of the Holy Spirit, Jesus will take care of us. “[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 . One thing is for sure, our God is awesome. Jesus promised that he would never leave nor forsake us! Join us in keeping the first thing first. The gift of God, salvation through the blood of our Lord Jesus. Do you want a true blessing? Ask Jesus to be Lord of your life. In doing so you will have a more abundant and purposeful life, everlasting.
