But Festus, willing to do the Jews a pleasure, answered Paul, and said, Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before me? Then said Paul, I stand at Caesar's judgment seat, where I ought to be judged: to the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou very well knowest. For if I be an offender, or have committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die: but if there be none of these things whereof these accuse me, no man may deliver me unto them. I appeal unto Caesar.
Can we see that God is still in control? First, God rescued Paul through the soldiers, then it was through Paul’s nephew, and now Paul is delivered from the Jews through his appeal unto Caesar. Friends, to whom do we make our appeal? Let it not be to Caesar or to any man; but let our appeal for mercy and help be to Jesus, the one who is “our advocate with the Father.”
