Today we read Acts 24. Festus brings Paul’s case before King Agrippa and Bernice so they may formulate charges to send with Paul to Rome. Festus fails to set Paul free, even though he knows Paul is innocent. We sin in a similar way when we hold a grudge against someone. Repent of all grudges. Jesus, who was innocent of all charges against Him, took the punishment we deserve for all the times we hold grudges. • Christ Jesus, thank You for Your willingness to be charged unjustly and for taking our punishment! Because of You, we no longer have any charges against us in the heavenly Father’s court. Amen.

Today we read Acts 23. Once again, the Lord protects Paul from his opponents. Every day, the Lord protects us too from so many dangers. Thank you, Jesus!

Today we read Acts 2. Here, Paul tells the crowd about his conversion to Christianity. Do you have a similar conversion story, even though perhaps not quite as dramatic? 🙂

Today we read Acts 21. Again, Paul’s teachings about Jesus cause unrest–even a riot. Indeed, Jesus sometimes turns the world upside down–but even if He does, it is always for the better.
