## Resource

As Paul stands before the Jewish council, he begins by stating that he has lived before God with a clear conscience. This angers the high priest, who orders Paul to be struck. Paul then shifts the discussion to the issue of the resurrection of the dead, a belief that divides the council: Pharisees who believe in the resurrection vs. Sadducees who reject the idea. The debate quickly escalates and the Roman commander removes Paul from the council. That night, the Lord appears to Paul and encourages him that he will now have the opportunity to testify not just in Jerusalem, but in Rome itself! Looking for a previous devo? Want to share one with a friend? Start here: https://www.highrock.org/daily-devotionals/ For Reflection: - Why do you imagine that Paul thought it important to assert that his conscience was clear? Why do you think the high priest was so angered by Paul's statement? - Why do you think the doctrine of the resurrection was so important to Paul? - What do you think and feel about Paul's strategy of dividing the council over the resurrection? Can you think of any application to your own situation in life? - Prayer: Lord, in difficult times, help me remain faithful to you and confident in the hope of the resurrection.
