Acts 25:1-12 Now when Festus was come into the province, after three days he ascended from Caesarea to Jerusalem.… Kings may die and governors be changed, but Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. The Christian knows this, and — I. LOOKS BACK ON DEPARTED GOVERNORS. 1. Without harsh judgment, for he knows that they stand, or will stand, before the highest Judge. 2. Without immoderate praise, for he sees that all the glory of the world is vanity. II. LOOKS TOWARD THE NEW GOVERNMENT. 1. Without extravagant hope, for he knows that there is nothing new under the sun. 2. Without anxious fear, for he knows that Christ reigns. (K. Gerok.)
