We are nearing the end of our study through Acts. This week we come upon a scene in which Paul is given an audience before the most powerful rulers over Judea. Before being sent on to Rome in order to make an appeal before Caesar, Paul presents his testimony of salvation and his ministry of the gospel before these prominent Jewish authorities. We will see in this scene key themes on sharing the life of the gospel in the most intimidating of settings. Even rulers will some day have to recognize the authority of Jesus the Messiah because he has conquered death and brought true life through his resurrection.
