February 18: Numbers 3-4; Acts 25

A Great Privilege!

Scripture: Acts (NIV) 25:18 When his accusers got up to speak, they did not charge him with any of the crimes I had expected.
19 Instead, they had some points of dispute with him about their own religion and about a dead man named Jesus whom Paul claimed was alive.
20 I was at a loss how to investigate such matters;

Observation: Festus is explaining to King Agrippa about an earlier hearing he had conducted to determine if Paul is guilty of the charges against him. It is interesting to read his description of Jesus—“a dead man named Jesus whom Paul claimed was alive.”

Application: There are many people in the world with a limited understanding of who Jesus is. Some of them live and work close to me. God wants to use me to expand their understanding of who Jesus is and what a great privilege it is to serve Him!

Prayer: Lord, may people easily see that I count it a great privilege to serve you! You are such a wonderful Lord! I cannot think of anything better to do with my life than to dedicate it to you! Amen.
