Scripture Acts 24: 23-27

Felix had Paul under house arrest but gave him the freedom to see whoever he wanted to see. A few days after, Felix and his wife sent for Paul. When Paul came before them he told them all about Jesus and his faith in him. He told Felix so much that he trembled and told him to go away until a more convenient time. He said that he would call for him again.

Verse 26 says that Felix was hoping that Paul would offer him a bribe. He sent for Paul time and time again. I wonder if the reason Felix sent for him was because he liked what he heard. Many people are like Felix today. They go to church Sunday after Sunday and sit under the gospel. Then they come out the same way they went in. Nothing changed.

God is giving people the opportunity to repent and receive Jesus into their hearts and lives. The bible doesn't say if Felix accepted Jesus or not. If he didn't, he lived to regret his decision and so will anyone that rejects Him today. If you don't know Jesus today, bow your head right where you are, ask Him to forgive you of your sins and come into your life.

If you do know Jesus, continue to pray for and witness to those who are lost. Time is swiftly passing by and Jesus could come at any time.




Accept the message of Christ today
Don't close your ears, it will not pay
Make your choice and ask Him in
He will forgive you of your sin
