Reach out to them

‘Agrippa interrupted him. “Do you think you can persuade me to become a Christian so quickly?”’ – Acts 26: 28

THE powerful, the plutocrats, and the arrogant need to know the story of Jesus as much as the poor and lonely. In our corrupt times, and in nation after nation, we should let Paul’s example remind us that we mustn’t regard all power mongers in high places as beyond redemption. The Bible doesn’t record whether King (Herod) Agrippa ever became a Christian or not, but Paul, in chains,  did share the gospel with this King of Judea who reigned with Roman approval. And Paul replied that whether Herod was converted quickly or not at all, he still prayed for him (and the assembly of power-drunk dignitaries who were with him). In our eyes, many of the high and seemingly mighty may be lost causes, but pray for them anyway; they are not unreachable by Christ the Savior.
