Acts 24: 1-27; The Trial Before Felix

Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.

The main thing that we can learn from Paul, and the rest of the Apostles, is that there is a cost to discipleship. Being a follower of Jesus is not a 'bed of roses.' We are not promised a perfect life. Being a follower of Jesus means that sometimes we must go through trials and tribulations for the sake of the name of Jesus Christ. Sometimes we are persecuted, sometimes we suffer for other reasons. But the point is that Paul shows us that being a disciple of Christ means that we will face difficult times. The good news is, though, that we have God with us in those difficult times. We have a God who will never ,eave us or forsake us, but who will forever remain with us as we go through difficult times. Even though we may face trials and tribulations God will be with us. God bless you.
