Paul gets to tell a real king about Jesus — and he wishes the king could know Jesus' love too.
Today's Story
Paul was brought before King Agrippa, a real king! What an opportunity. Paul wasn't nervous — he was glad to tell even a king about Jesus.
Once again, Paul shared his story: how he used to be against Jesus, how he met Jesus in a bright light on the road, and how Jesus changed his whole life and sent him to tell everyone the good news. “I have obeyed the vision from heaven,” Paul said. “I just tell people to turn to God, and that Jesus brings light and life to everyone.”
King Agrippa was amazed. “Paul, are you trying to make ME a Christian?” he said. And Paul answered with such a loving heart: “Whether it takes a short time or a long time, I wish that not just you, but EVERYONE listening, could know Jesus the way I do!”
Paul didn't care that he was a prisoner in chains. He just wanted everyone — even a king — to know the love and joy of Jesus. He shared the good news boldly and lovingly, no matter who was listening.
