Paul stands before King Agrippa and confidently explains why he does what he does. Paul grew up as an impressive Jew and he believed the promise that the Messiah would come; it wasn't until Paul understood the truth that the Messiah had come, was killed, and then rose again from the dead that Paul's life changed drastically. Everything Paul does can now be explained by his belief that Jesus is alive. I wonder if we live our lives with the same hope, the same thing motivating our actions and choices?
