When sharing the Gospel, we encounter three distinct reactions: receptive hearts that hunger for more truth, jealous opposition from those threatened by God’s message, and joyful reception from those who discover they’re included in God’s grace. Paul and Barnabas experienced all three responses in Pisidian Antioch. Our role isn’t to control people’s reactions but to remain faithful in sharing the message. The Gospel acts as a divider, demanding a verdict from every heart. Whether we face acceptance or rejection, our calling is to trust the Holy Spirit to work while we focus on being obedient to the Great Commission.
