What Does Acts 25:22 Mean?
Agrippa's curiosity is awakened. He tells Festus he would like to hear this man himself, and the governor promises that tomorrow he shall. A formal hearing is arranged, not as a trial now, but so that Paul may be examined before the king.
A king asks to hear the prisoner, and the door for the gospel swings open once more. The Lord had said Paul would bear His name before kings, and here that word draws nearer to fulfillment. Even idle curiosity can become the occasion for a soul to hear the truth. God uses every opening, and tomorrow Agrippa will hear far more than he bargained for as Paul speaks of Christ.
