Acts 24:25

_ _ And as he reasoned of righteousness — with reference to the public character of Felix.

_ _ temperance — with reference to his immoral life.

_ _ and judgment to come — when he would be called to an awful account for both.

_ _ Felix trembled — and no wonder. For, on the testimony of Tacitus, the Roman Annalist [Annals, 9; 12.54], he ruled with a mixture of cruelty, lust, and servility, and relying on the influence of his brother Pallas at court, he thought himself at liberty to commit every sort of crime with impunity. How noble the fidelity and courage which dared to treat of such topics in such a presence, and what withering power must have been in those appeals which made even a Felix to tremble!

_ _ Go thy way for this time; and when I have a convenient season I will call for thee — Alas for Felix! This was his golden opportunity, but — like multitudes still — he missed it. Convenient seasons in abundance he found to call for Paul, but never again to “hear him concerning the faith in Christ,” and writhe under the terrors of the wrath to come. Even in those moments of terror he had no thought of submission to the Cross or a change of life. The Word discerned the thoughts and intents of his heart, but that heart even then clung to its idols; even as Herod, who “did many things and heard John gladly,” but in his best moments was enslaved to his lusts. How many Felixes have appeared from age to age!

See commentary on Acts 24:22-27.

Acts 24:25

And as he reasoned of justice, temperance, and judgment to come — This was the only effectual way of preaching Christ to an unjust, lewd judge. Felix being terrified — How happily might this conviction have ended, had he been careful to pursue the views which were then opening upon his mind! But, like thousands, he deferred the consideration of these things to a more convenient season. A season which, alas! never came. For though he heard again, he was terrified no more. In the meantime we do not find Drusilla, though a Jewess, was thus alarmed. She had been used to hear of a future judgment: perhaps too she trusted to the being a daughter of Abraham, or to the expiation of the law, and so was proof against the convictions which seized on her husband, though a heathen. Let this teach us to guard against all such false dependencies as tend to elude those convictions that might otherwise be produced in us by the faithful preaching of the word of God. Let us stop our ears against those messengers of Satan, who appear as angels of light; who would teach us to reconcile the hope of salvation with a corrupt heart or an unholy life. Go thy way for this time — O how will every damned soul one day lament his having neglected such a time as this!
