Event: Paul’s Trial Before Felix
S – Scripture
Acts 24 v. 5 For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and agitator among all the Jews throughout the world and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes.
O – Observation
You will be hated by all nations for my names sake. Matthew 24 v. 9b. In today’s verse, the Jewish leaders are presenting their case against Paul to the Roman leadership. The picture that they paint is less than glowing, pestilent, agitator, ringleader. It’s an interesting list of adjectives. I'm sure if you asked the people that he preached to, lived with, there would be a different set of adjectives. Which makes me wonder, what are the adjectives used to describe us? Especially when it comes to our faith. Hers a great list of adjectives to strive for. Galatians 5 b. 22-23a, "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy , peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control."
A - Application
What are the adjectives used to describe me?
P – Prayer
Jesus, Let the adjectives used to describe me be about action. Love Will.
