Acts of the Holy Spirit: Chapter 23
In this chapter, Paul is brought before a Gentile ruler named Felix. Paul will have the opportunity to Tell Felix about his faith in Christ. Once again the Holy Spirit arranges an encounter where Paul can share the gospel. Paul is not ashamed of the gospel of Christ and makes an impression on Felix. How ready each of us should be when God gives us opportunities to share the gospel.
Felix is troubled but refuses to humble himself and receive Christ as Savior. Felix blood will not be on Paul’s hands because Paul was willing to tell him about God’s forgiveness. The most impressive thing about Paul was no matter what circumstances he found himself in, he was always ready and willing to talk about Jesus. He triumphed over his circumstances because the Holy Spirit living in him gave him the power to live victorious in life or death. He lived without fear and so should we.
