With clearness and power Paul outlined before Agrippa the leading events connected with the life of Christ on earth. He testified that the Messiah of prophecy had already appeared in the person of Jesus of Nazareth. He showed how the Old Testament Scriptures had declared that the Messiah was to appear as a man among men, and how in the life of Jesus had been fulfilled every specification outlined by Moses and the prophets. For the purpose of redeeming a lost world, the divine Son of God had endured the cross, despising the shame, and had ascended to heaven triumphant over death and the grave.

Med klarhed og kraft skildrede Paulus for Agrippa de vigtigste begivenheder i forbindelse med Kristi liv på jorden. Han vidnede om, at profetiernes Messias allerede havde vist sig i Jesus af Nazarets skikkelse. Han viste, hvorledes de gammeltestamentlige skrifter havde forkyndt, at Messias skulle fremstå som et menneske blandt mennesker og hvorledes hver enkelthed, der var skildret af Moses og profeterne, var blevet opfyldt i Jesu liv. For at kunne frelse den fortabte verden havde Guds egen Søn udholdt korsets skam og var steget op til Himmelen med sejr over døden og graven.
