Significant verse:
25:19
What does the verse say?
As Festus took over responsibilities as governor from Felix, the Jewish
leaders brought charges against Paul again. Instead of serious
crimes, Festus noted the accusations were related to their religion and
"a dead man named Jesus who Paul insists is alive".
What is God saying to me?
The notion of the resurrection confused Festus. But the
resurrection is the pivotal event of my faith. Father, I praise
you that you raised Jesus from the dead. I praise you that you
accepted your Son as a sacrifice for my sins. I praise you that
Jesus' resurrected life secures my resurrected life. Lord, may
all who hear about your resurrection believe in you. As Easter
approaches, may the message of your resurrection give birth to eternal
life in many hearts.
