The Confession Of Paul

 

Today's verse is Acts 24:14-15

     But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets: 

     And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust. 

    Here we have the confession of Paul, that same one that had went to gather those of the way he now testifies, he now boldly, without shame declares before the Judge. Even as he had testified to the Corinthians: We also believe, and therefore speak, having remembered the words of the Psalmist, who also confessed that he was greatly afflicted. Paul, knowing that he could be condemned, stood before the judge, and feared God more than these men that could condemn him. Do you also so Love and Fear the one that took your place upon the Cross, to boldly proclaim the hope you have in him, before those that would condemn you for that very fact? This is but your reasonable service. Amen.

To God be the Glory

Scott
