A devotional reflection on Festus’s dismissal of Paul.

Romans in the New Testament

Spiritual truth requires a willing heart. Festus dismissed Paul’s testimony as madness. His worldview left no room for resurrection or revelation. His closed mind kept him from truth.

Much learning doth make thee mad. (Acts 26:24)

The natural man receiveth not. (1 Corinthians 2:14)

He that hath ears to hear. (Matthew 11:15)
