Acts 23-26  Paul is tried before Felix, then Festus, and then King Agrippa.  Each time he is considered innocent of the charges that the Jews were bringing against him.  There were  also many that were trying to kill him by setting ambushes. Through it all, Paul stayed faithful and kept speaking the Truth, hoping that some would be saved.  We are not told here whether or not any of them finally believed.  But, these events brought about Paul's journey to Rome.  This was the Lord's plan for Paul all along.

In Paul's defense before Agrippa he details a little more about his encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus.  Jesus says to Paul, "I have appeared to you to appoint you to serve and bear witness to what you have already seen of me, and to what you will see when I appear to you in the future. I will deliver you from the People and from the Gentiles. I am sending you to open their eyes; so that they will turn from darkness to light, from the power of the Adversary to God, and thus receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who have been separated for holiness by putting their trust in me."  (v16-18) 

These are words of "truth and sanity".. Paul says, when Festus calls him crazy.

Like Paul, we have been given words of truth and sanity to accomplish these same purposes:

That the eyes of the blinded will be opened to the Truth of Jesus Christ.
That they will turn from darkness to the Light.
That they will turn from the power of Satan to the One and only True God.
That they will receive what Jesus alone can offer - forgiveness of sins and a place in God's Kingdom.

Wherever we are, Father, and whoever we are sent to.. give us boldness to proclaim these words of Truth and Life.  Some will call us crazy.  But, some may listen and turn to You.  Open blinded eyes and hardened hearts we pray, in the Name of Jesus our Lord, Amen.
