women of the Bible: Bernice by ric Gustafson
When Festus was appointed Governor of Judea, he ran into a big problem. The Jewish religious leaders had accused the Apostle Paul of blasphemy and wanted to put him to death. Festus asked Bernice and her brother King Agrippa to talk with Paul.
Paul presented the Gospel to them as a legal defense. He explained to them that Jesus was everything that the Jewish people had been waiting for. Paul told them about his own encounter with the risen Jesus.
King Agrippa was not too sure about this risen Jesus. Later in AD 66, Bernice risked her life to save Jews being killed by the Roman leader Gessius Florus. Did she believe in Jesus?. No one knows for sure.
I pray that I will have the confidence to tell others about Jesus.
