Acts 25:1-26:32 - We all want peace and calm in our lives and, therefore, naturally resist anything new that messes with that. The powers of this world feel threatened by the Gospel and attack it. But in front of the kings and rulers of this world, Paul makes the closing argument that the Gospel is good news for the world.
Since Genesis 1 God's promise has been to fill all the earth with His presence and glory, for peoples from all the nations to know Him. Through the Gospel of Jesus Christ this mission is now coming to fruition! Thus, we journey now with Paul through the rest of the book of Acts as Jew and Gentile alike across the ancient world hear the offer of salvation proclaimed all the way to Rome itself.
