Paul gives his "defense" before Agrippa. It is a
hearing called by Festus in order for King Agrippa to hear Paul's case. It is
not a formal trial.
In any case, Paul defends himself against baseless charges but
his focus is on how Jesus has transformed him and how He is the one who he
is following and obeying. Paul presents the Gospel to those hearing, especially
Festus and King Agrippa.
This is Paul's longest speech in the book of Acts.
All of us believers are called by God to give testimony of
what Christ has done for us. We are called to share and explain the Gospel to others. This is our mission as well.
From Acts 26 we are reminded that those who are not believers are:
1. Spiritually blind and in darkness (2 Cor. 4:3-6; 1 Pet. 2:9; Col. 1:9)
2. Under the rule of Satan.
3. In need of forgiveness of sin which comes through faith in Christ.
4. Sanctified when they are in Christ and share in the
fellowship with other believers.
