Show by Keith Martin

In today’s lesson we will study Paul’s witness to King Agrippa. The Holy Spirit had been working and setting the stage for this event since the foundations of the world. He had prepared the hearts of those that would hear Paul. He had prepared the heart of the man of God that would deliver the sermon. He had prepared the message that Paul would now be anointed and empowered to deliver. The view that Paul had of Jesus was formed right there on the Damascus road. The Apostle Paul saw Jesus as the Lord from heaven. Paul’s unique and remarkable view of the risen and ascended Christ colored all of his thinking about Jesus. He could never forget what he called his heavenly vision. To Paul, the unique thing about Jesus was that He was God, over all, blessed for evermore. That though He was Man, real and human, He was seated by sovereign right as God, at God’s right hand. Prior to meeting Jesus on that road to Damascus, Paul, the Pharisee, was guilty of persecuting the Messiah of Israel, the Son of David, the Son of God. He had laid violent hands upon those beloved of heaven, the very members of the Body of Christ. Yet, everything these Christians had been saying was true. Jesus was the Son of God, born of a virgin, unique in His person, marvelous in His life, falsely accused and rejected by the very Sanhedrin Paul had served. Worse still, they had crucified Him. Yet, He had been buried and raised again in power, and stood before him as the One sitting at the right hand of God. Paul is telling Agrippa that he had indeed been wrong, just as the Jewish religious leaders were wrong in their accusations against him. They had failed to recognize the promised Messiah when He stood among them. And now they were missing the opportunity to have life everlasting.
