The courtroom drama of Paul's trial reaches a new high point in this chapter. By all standards of our modern day measure, many would have no doubt that Paul is insane. Just as Festus shouted to him saying: "Paul, you are mad!". When given a chance to defend himself before the Roman Emperor when the outcome is either life or death for him, Paul did the most unthinkable by human standard - the challenge to convert his pagan Roman audience to Christianity! How does Paul's actions challenge us to view our own faith with the same singularity of purpose and intensity of passion? Tough act to follow... But his ultimate spreading of the Good News from Greece to Rome even as a prisoner, should be a source of great inspiration that God uses his obedient and faithful servants in great ways beyond our wildest imagination.
God Bless,
Maria
