But on the next day, desiring to know the real reason why he was being accused by the Jews, he unbound him and commanded the chief priests and all the council to meet, and he brought Paul down and set him before them. Acts 22:30 – How do you get a high-up enemy leader to hear you speak the truths about Jesus? You behave differently than the world behaves. While likely that scenario isn’t one you’ll be in often, we can rephrase the question to ask how do you get someone who is highly unlikely to listen to you share the gospel to listen? You behave differently than the world behaves. In our story we have the Romans watching the situation play out. The Jews are acting like a wild mob, yet Paul stood his ground and spoke with respect, honor, and truth. Seeing such a contrast between Paul and the mob is what fueled the desire of the Roman leader to want to know more. Today I encourage you to exist in such a contrast. See how your unbelieving coworkers work and do differently. See how the unbelieving family in your community lives and raises your family to do differently. The world is hungry for something different, so let them see Jesus in the contrast of your life from the World. I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Daily DEVO 3630
