Paul summed up thirty years in eight words. I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision. Most of us, given three decades to summarize, could not land on a sentence that clean. That is the shape of discipleship. We are not called to a series of inspired moments but to the long obedience that comes after the excitement fades. Then he gave the gospel in two verses, all anchored in Moses and the prophets, and Festus broke in shouting that too much study had driven Paul mad. Paul answered with respect and turned to the king. Do you believe the prophets? I know you believe. Cornered, Agrippa deflected with a smirk that has been romanticized for centuries as a near miss. The most dangerous spiritual posture is not hostility. It is evasion. The graveyard of the gospel is paved with people who admired Jesus from a safe distance and never followed him.
