Marcus Antonius Felix, the governor of Judea around 52-60 AD, was known as “a master of cruelty and lust.” He had three wives and believed himself “capable of committing any crime and avoiding punishment because of his influence.” Felix considered himself above the law and so defined the meaning of corruption. He maneuvered for political advantage at the expense of those less powerful than himself.
“Still playing up to the Jews and ignoring justice, Felix left Paul in prison,” (Acts 24.27).
Have I been infected by the spirit of Felix?
