Behold: Ongoing Persecution
Acts 25:1
After Festus begins to govern, he goes to Jerusalem. The High Priest and chief of the Jews desire him to bring Paul to Jerusalem but he refuses. He said they must come to him in Caesarea. Festus wanted favor of the Jews and when they came to accuse Paul, Festus asked Paul to return to Jerusalem to be judged there. Paul appealed to Caesar so that the Jews could not put him on trial in Jerusalem. They could find no crime against Paul but as he had appealed to Caesar, he would go to Rome. What about you? Are you willing to suffer for doing the right thing no matter the outcome? The Lord has called us to be a people of honor and integrity, no matter what. We are looking for you to be in Sunday School at 10:00 A.M..
