Then Agrippa said to Paul, “You almost persuade me to become a Christian.” And Paul said, “I would to God that not only you, but also all who hear me today, might become both almost and altogether such as I am, except for these chains.” vv.28-29
Read chapter 26
King Agrippa is trying to make it seem ridiculous in this short amount of time that he'd become a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ by this one time speech of Paul to him. Even so many today feel like they can't or shouldn't just believe in Christ that "easy," skeptical that there's something wrong or more complicated. Now we live in a different dispensations today than during the Acts person where they heard the gospel by God's choose men clearly and perfectly, so to deny it once was a once-for-all. Where today we are given many changes to respond it seems. But the best thing is that it is possible and happens often for someone to be sold out for Jesus after just seeing Him once. And this is what Paul desires for all who hear. Do we desire this for everyone around us or just certain "types" of people?
