Opportunity to Answer

Acts 25:13-16 
13 And after some days King Agrippa and Bernice came to Caesarea to greet Festus. 14 When they had been there many days, Festus laid Paul's case before the king, saying: “There is a certain man left a prisoner by Felix, 15 about whom the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me, when I was in Jerusalem, asking for a judgment against him. 16 To them I answered, ‘It is not the custom of the Romans to deliver any man to destruction before the accused meets the accusers face to face, and has opportunity to answer for himself concerning the charge against him.’

Paul was told (Acts 9:15) in his calling that he would testify before kings and Israel - he did in the synagogue and now by a king after a governor.  The nations would be next.  So here the king will hear the accused and accusers, and Paul will present the reason for the hope in him and the suffering it has brought unjustly.  God used Paul to testify, to bear witness to the gospel’s words of life.  So will we have opportunities to give a reason of our hope, though not specifically called as Paul before kings necessarily.
