Explained for Children
Imagine you're playing a game where everyone gets judged on how they play. The coach says he'll pick a special day to do this and he has chosen one of his players as the judge. To show that this player can be trusted, the coach had him score lots of points in previous games.
Historical Background
Acts was written by Luke around 60-80 AD. This verse comes from Paul's speech at the Areopagus in Athens, Greece, where he spoke to educated Greeks about God and Jesus.
Living It Out Today
In today’s world, this verse encourages us to live righteously knowing that there will be a day of reckoning, which can inspire us to make ethical decisions every day. For example, if you're at work and tempted to take credit for someone else's idea, remember the ultimate judge is watching.
