Favors

December 13, 2008



Who was doing who a favor here?

Act 24:27 ESV
(27) When two years had elapsed, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus. And desiring to do the Jews a favor, Felix left Paul in prison.


One would think that Felix was keeping Paul from spreading the Word so he was doing the Jews a favor. Really though, Paul was able to take time and write the Epistles to the various churches. And being under house arrest, he was able to talk to and live his life before people every day. Doing so must have lead a few to the Lord.

We can look at our situations as problems, or we can look at them as solutions. What is your view?
