Contents: Paul before Festus. His appeal to Caesar.

Characters: Jesus, Festus, high priest, Paul, Caesar, Agrippa, Bernice.

Conclusion: It is nothing for the most excellent ones of the earth to have all manner of evil said against them falsely for Christ's sake and to be represented even in courts as odious and harmful to society. Nevertheless God is able to make men's worldly policies serve His own purpose (Psalms 76:10), and when enemies think to block the gates of the Gospel, He is able to open them wider.

Key Word: Falsely accused, Acts 25:5; Acts 25:7.

Strong Verses: Acts 25:11.

Striking Facts: Acts 25:19. What Paul affirmed concerning Jesus Christ, that He is alive, is a matter of such vast importance, that if it be not true, we are all undone. Yet many men today treat the subject slightly as did this Roman.
