while he answered for himself, “Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar have I offended in anything at all.”
Acts 25:8 NKJV
Paul was able to stand with a clean conscious before his enemies. Though they wanted to kill him because of his faith and his ministry, Paul had not wronged them in any way. He had kept the laws of the land and of the temple.
There are those who feel justified in breaking the law to advance their cause. That didn’t seem to be Paul’s thinking. No one had a legitimate reason to punish, imprison or kill Paul. Paul was clean.
Stay clean.
Jesus, You were unfairly mistreated. Help me stay clean no matter what. Amen.
