King Agrippa and Bernice entered the audience hall with great pomp, surrounded by military commanders and the city’s elite. Then Paul was brought in: a small man in chains, wearing the same clothes he had worn for two years. Festus needed something to write to Caesar about an innocent prisoner. Paul saw something bigger, an opportunity to tell the most powerful people in the room about Jesus. He told his story: a strict Pharisee who hunted Christians, blinded by the risen Christ on the Damascus road, and sent to turn people from darkness to light. When Agrippa asked, “Are you trying to make me a Christian?” Paul’s answer was yes. This message challenges every believer to be ready to share their story and to see that reaching people with Jesus is the mission for all of us, not just some of us.
