Our Scripture reading today is Acts 26:24-27.
Verse 26, "For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a corner."
The Apostle Paul was speaking before King Agrippa about Jesus Christ. He was referring to the fact that His ministry and even His resurrection were not done in secret. It was well known across the land what Jesus Christ had done. Festus thought Paul was out of his mind regarding this message about the Saviour. Paul spoke of historical and truthful events that he knew Agrippa already had heard of.
We are also living in a day when those who speak and stand for truth are considered crazy or even the problem. It is our duty and privilege to continue to spread the message of truth that was once delivered. Jude verse 3, "Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints." In order to take this stand, we will need boldness and courage. It is also imperative that we die to self every day. The truth that has made us free must be delivered!
