Paul before Agrippa
I. Festus’ dilemna, 25:23-27
A. An admission of cowardice
Even Festus admitted that Paul had done nothing deserving death or broken any law
He should have released him
He did not because of fear of the Jews
B. An admission of incompetence
Paul had appealed to Ceasar and as a Roman this was his right
Festus had to send a letter accompanying the prisoner as to what reason he had sent him
Festus had nothing to report and feared looking ridiculous and insulting Ceasar by wasting his time
Agrippa could be his help in this situation
II.
Paul’s gospel testimony.
26:1-23
A. Background on Agrippa
this is Agrippa II
His uncle was Herod of the time of Jesus birth
He was a jewish nationalist and appeared to keep the jewish law so a friend to the Jews
Bernice, who was his sister, traveled with him and theirs was an incestuous relationship
Paul’s past.
vs 1-11
Paul took every ocassion to share the gospel rather than defend himself
“blessed” - privilege to share
Paul identified with the jews in his past life
a good person, above many others
adhered to the laws
Paul laid out the dividing line vs. 8
Can God not raise the dead
Saducees said no while Pharisess said yes
why does this seem so impossible
Paul identified his sinful past
persecuting followers of Jesus
did it as one who thought he was doing well
yet what he did was evil
cast his vote against them
black stone- guilty and death
white stone innocent
summary
I thought I was good enough
I realized my sinful condition
absolute necessities for salvation
iii.
Paul conversion, vs 12-23
III.
Leaders response.
26:24-32
