" And as he discussed justice, self-control, and the coming judgment, Felix became frightened and said, “Go away for the present; when I have an opportunity, I will send for you.” (Acts 24:25)
When was the last time you had a deep conversation with someone? How did you feel during and after? Sometimes engaging in meaningful conversation on interesting topics can be quite fun. There can also be times when the topics begin to hit a little to close to home and your comfort level decreases.
We don't know which of the topics frightened Felix, justice, self-control or the coming judgement. Probably all three. When the topic starts to point to some hidden and unpleasant truths about ourselves we might become frightened also. The hope would be that rather than shutting down the conversation, we take it to heart and see where perhaps we are being given an opportunity to amend our lives.
Blessings,
