Jews and Greeks Who Were Either (1) Angry Thessalonians, (2) Persuaded Thessalonians, or (3) Fair-Minded Bereans

THOSE WHO ARE PERSUADED BY TRUE PREACHING  AND  THOSE WHO REJECT TRUE PREACHING As you read the below from The Book of Acts, Chapter 17, Verses 1 to 14, notice the different reactions that occur in Thessalonica and in Berea .  There are those who were persuaded and believed Paul's preaching and there were those who violently rejected Paul's preaching.  There are both Jews and Greeks, men and women involved.  Also notice that the Thessalonians who rejected Paul's preaching also go to Berea, the next city that Paul and his companion went to, and they also cause trouble in that city. ____________________________________________________________________________ ACTS 17 A Paraphrase of the New King James Version PAUL AND SILAS PREACHED CHRIST IN THESSALONICA.   Now they passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia and came to Thessalonica where there was a synagogue of the Jews.  As his custom was, Paul went to them in the Synagogue for three Sabbaths and  reasoned with them and ex

The Easter Season - 96 Days of Time with God - Day 15 - FEAR WHOM?

Image
  FEAR WHOM? Day 15           Wednesday, March 03, 2021            15th Day from Ash Wednesday Jesus said, " Fear him who, after he has killed, has power to cast into hell;" Those words are taken from a teaching by Jesus that is stated in Luke 12:4-7. Jesus spoke that teaching while He was on His last journey to Jerusalem to complete the ultimate goal for which He came, for which He was sent, into the world. Whom should we fear and why? Matthew Henry, a commentator on the entire Bible explains it this way: God is to be feared more than the most powerful men: “I will forewarn you whom you shall fear" (Luke 12:5) Fear man less, fear God more. By OWNING Christ, you may incur the wrath of men, which can reach no further than to put you to death. By DENYING Christ, and disowning Him, you will incur the wrath of God, which has power to send you to hell, and there is no resisting it.
