Paul reminded Porcius Festus, the procurator of Judea, that the events of Christ’s death and resurrection were “not done in a corner” (Acts 26:26). Festus judged Paul innocent but failed to release him, just as Pilate failed to release Jesus. However, the death of Jesus was to affect more than Jerusalem. God’s love is for the whole world. He is the God of the whole earth, not just the God of the Temple, cathedrals or back street mission halls. When we open the New Testament, big things immediately come into view. This carpenter from Nazareth, dying like any wretched murderer, talked of his gospel permeating the whole world. We have his global commission and his Kingdom will not cease to expand (Isaiah 9:7).
