What it points to
Felix's name — 'happy' — contrasts ironically with his trembling before Paul's message. His story warns us that postponing our response to God's truth robs us of the very happiness our hearts seek.
Verses · King James Version
“And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee.”
Acts 24:25
“But after two years Porcius Festus came into Felix' room: and Felix, willing to shew the Jews a pleasure, left Paul bound.”
Acts 24:27
