Scripture lesson: Acts 26:24-29 Taking advantage of a situation

Time to reflect: This was not the best possible situation for trying to convert his listeners – Paul was on trial for his life. But Paul took every opportunity.

Moving Through the Day: Are there going to be opportunities for you to get in a good word about the Good News today?

Scripture:

 24At this point Festus interrupted Paul's defense. "You are out of your mind, Paul!" he shouted. "Your great learning is driving you insane."

 25"I am not insane, most excellent Festus," Paul replied. "What I am saying is true and reasonable. 26The king is familiar with these things, and I can speak freely to him. I am convinced that none of this has escaped his notice, because it was not done in a corner. 27King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know you do."

 28Then Agrippa said to Paul, "Do you think that in such a short time you can persuade me to be a Christian?"

 29Paul replied, "Short time or long—I pray God that not only you but all who are listening to me today may become what I am, except for these chains."
