Teaching Points The Danger of JealousyJealousy can blind us to the truth and lead us to oppose God's work. We must guard our hearts against jealousy and seek to celebrate others' successes. Responding to Opposition Like Paul and Barnabas, we should remain steadfast in our mission, even when faced with opposition. Our focus should be on faithfully proclaiming the Gospel. The Power of the Gospel The Gospel attracts diverse audiences, as seen by the crowds in Pisidian Antioch. We should be prepared for both acceptance and rejection when sharing our faith. The Role of Encouragement Barnabas, known for his encouragement, reminds us of the importance of supporting one another in ministry, especially during times of conflict. Understanding God's Plan Opposition can be part of God's plan to spread the Gospel further, as it often leads to new opportunities for ministry.(45) They were filled with envy.--They heard the Apostles speaking to the multitudes, not in the condescending, supercilious tone of those who could just tolerate a wealthy proselyte of the gate, that could purchase their favour, but as finding in every one of them a brother standing on the same level as themselves, as redeemed by Christ, and this practical repudiation of all the exclusive privileges on which they prided themselves was more than they could bear. Contradicting and blaspheming.--The latter word implies reviling words with which the Apostles were assailed, as well as blasphemy in the common meaning of the word.
