The glory of the rich, the famous, and the powerful of this world is fading and one day will be entirely extinguished. They may have a huge following now. People may be wowed now by their beauty, or by their athletic, academic, financial, political, musical, or theatrical abilities. But what they have gained will be dim when compared to the glory of Christians who are faithful and courageous and who will not move an inch from their faith in and love for Jesus Christ in standing for His truth.
Dear ones, let not your present humble and low state in the eyes of the world deter you from walking that narrow path that leads to everlasting life. At death the high and mighty of this world will not be filled with such boasting and vain glory. They will wish to die the death of the righteous who trust not in this world but in Christ (“Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his” Numbers 23:10). The glory of the high and mighty fades at death, while the glory of the righteous increases at death to a brilliance unknown in the world.
Today from our text, we shall see a contrast between the present pomp and glory of King Agrippa and the lowly estate of a faithful servant of Jesus Christ, Paul. Let us consider the true glory of the Christian that will not vanish. These are the main points from our text: (1) The Wicked Caught in Their Own Devices (Acts 25:13-22); (2) The Fading Glory of the Wicked (Acts 25:23-27).
