NASHVILLE (BP) — This weekly Bible study appears in Baptist Press in a partnership with Lifeway Christian Resources of the Southern Baptist Convention. Through its Leadership and Adult Publishing team, Lifeway publishes Sunday School curricula and additional resources for all age groups.
This week’s Bible study is adapted from the Explore the Bible curriculum.
Bible Passage: Acts 26:19-29
Discussion Questions:
- How would you respond if asked why you believe in Jesus?
- How can your actions and attitudes influence how others respond to the Gospel?
- What led you to place your faith in Jesus?
Food for thought:
How do you respond when unfairly accused? Some people get angry, others become defensive, and others go on the offensive and counterattack. All of these and other responses fall short of the way of Christ. When reviled, Jesus did not return the hate but showed love and forgiveness — even to those who crucified Him. From Paul, we learn how Jesus grants us grace and wisdom to endure in a way that honors Him.
Having escaped attacks in Jerusalem, Paul found himself in Caesarea awaiting trial before Felix, the Roman governor. Felix knew Paul was innocent, but he kept Paul in custody for two years. When Festus succeeded Felix, Jewish leaders asked him to send Paul to Jerusalem for trial. The apostle claimed his right as a Roman citizen and appealed to Caesar. Festus later invited Jewish King Agrippa to hear Paul’s defense. Paul told Agrippa that he “was not disobedient to the heavenly vision” (v. 19) he had received. More Here
