Acts 25:13-17

"Now when several days have elapsed, King Agrippa and Bernice arrived at Caesarea and paid their respects to Festus.  And while they were spending many days there, Festus laid Paul's case before the king, saying, 'There is a certain man left a prisoner by Felix; and when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews brought charges against him, asking for a sentence of condemnation upon him.  And I answered them that it is not the custom of the Romans to hand over any man before the accused meets his accusers face to face, and has an opportunity to make his defense against the charges.  And so after they assembled here, I made no delay, but on the next day took my seat on the tribunal, and ordered the man to be brought."

Here we witness the first part of Paul's story before the King, Agrippa.

The king is the man in charge of policy throughout the kingdom.  What he says, they believe.  What he instigates, they follow.

So who better than a king to introduce to Jesus.  This is what Paul is given the opportunity to do. 

And we are often given the same opportunity.  The opportunity to change the world, by introducing it to Jesus.  Will Paul take advantage of this opportunity?  Will you?  Will I?

God has placed us in a great spot.  Go.
