Bible In A Year | Read: Acts 26
27 King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know you do.”28 Then Agrippa said to Paul, “Do you think that in such a short time you can persuade me to be a Christian?” 29 Paul replied, “Short time or long—I pray to God that not only you but all who are listening to me today may become what I am, except for these chains.” Acts 26:27-29
Overview of Chapter
Agrippa, having lived in the area all his life, is far more familiar with Jewish traditions and with this new movement of followers of Jesus. Agrippa listens to Paul’s story with great interest, but Festus apparently thinks Paul is just a religious fanatic.
When we tell others of our relationship with Jesus, some will be open to what is being said and some will not. Neither trusted Jesus in the moment. Would one more conversation with Agrippa have made a difference? Is there some set of circumstance that would cause Festus to listen? Only God knows, but we have the responsibility to tell others of Jesus regardless of the outcome.
