“And as he (Paul) reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, ‘Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee.’” (Acts 24:25)
Felix, the procurator of Judea, often called the governor, was hearing the charges brought by the Jews against Paul. When Felix heard Paul’s message he trembled with conviction.
He would not be the last person who would tremble under the conviction of the Holy Spirit when under the sound of the Word of God. I have seen hardened sinners weep with conviction for their sins.
But, even though Felix trembled there is no record in the Bible of his becoming a Christian. “When I can find the time,” is the way it is translated in some Bibles. Apparently a convenient season never presented itself. How sad that someone knows what to do to be saved from a Christ-less eternity but puts it off until it is too late.
The Bible says that today is the day of salvation. If you have not received Christ as your Savior I encourage you to take care of it now, even as you read these lines.
