Paul before Festus (Acts 25:1-12)
The false accusations continue
Paul appeals to Caesar
Paul before Agrippa (Acts 25:13-26:32)
Paul continues to use his testimony
He continues to say that he is called into question concerning the HOPE OF THE RESURRECTION.
Yesterday we buried my dad's wife and several years ago we buried my mother. These funerals were times of celebration, because we all knew where these ladies had gone and that we would see them again. That's the hope (steadfast assurance) of the resurrection.
Agrippa told Paul that he had almost persuaded him to be a Christian. Paul said that his desire was that he would become altogether persuaded. You see when it comes to accepting Jesus and the hope of the resurrection, close is not good enough. This is an all or nothing proposition.
