Acts chapters 24-26 tell us of the continued trials of Paul the apostle. While he repeatedly finds himself in frustrating, unjust, and dangerous situations, he is always prepared to defend his innocence and to provide a reason for the hope that is within him. As we look at these chapters, we note how Paul prepared himself in term of his conscience, his courage, his content, and his conviction. God has given each of us a purpose, and in pursuing this purpose we will find ourselves in opportunities to make his name known. Will we be prepared to love others as he has loved us?
