A prisoner in chains looked at a king and asked him the most personal question in the room: “King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets?” Paul was supposed to be defending himself. Instead, he went after Agrippa’s soul. He laid out the message Jesus gave him on the Damascus road: open your eyes to your sin and to the goodness of God, turn from darkness to light, and receive forgiveness and a place in God’s family forever. The governor shouted that Paul was out of his mind. The king squirmed, dodged the question, and walked out. Agrippa had everything except the one thing the man in chains possessed. He knew the truth about Jesus and never responded to it. Don’t make his mistake.
