What Does Acts 25:2 Mean?
No sooner has Festus arrived in Jerusalem than the high priest and the leading men press their charges against Paul. Two years have passed since his arrest, yet their hostility has not cooled; they seize the first chance with a fresh governor to renew their attack.
Their persistence is a sober picture of how settled opposition to the truth can become. Paul, far away in Caesarea, has done nothing to provoke them; their grievance is older and deeper. Yet the same God who let Joseph be hated by his brothers was weaving that hatred into deliverance. Believers can rest knowing that no campaign against them escapes the notice or the overruling wisdom of heaven.
