In Acts 24 and 25 we see Paul struggle with the accusations against him and the Roman government’s inability to find him guilty. No Roman official could find any wrongdoing and thus were unable to find any reasonable charges to try him. As a result, Paul was in prison for several years. Imagine being incarcerated without any “legitimate” charges filed against you. Most of us would be mad. That would be hard for me to do. Paul knew his purpose and remained focused. As we will read in Acts 26, Paul was neither bitter nor full of anger. No, when he was asked to defend himself he spoke about Jesus and how He had changed his life. It was not about him, it was about Jesus and how others could come to know forgiveness and ultimately Jesus. In spite of any obstacles that we may face, we need to remain focused on Jesus and stay true to him. Stay focused.
