Acts 14:19-28; Psalm 145; John 14:27-31
Realities of life
Paul, as his opponents continually discovered, was not an easy man to get rid of. He experienced physical attacks and numerous journeys but always appeared again to offer encouragement to the disciples in various places and to explain how God had been at work through them. We, too, as Paul and Barnabas explained, “have to experience many hardships before we enter the kingdom of God”. These aren’t easy or insignificant, but if we remain focused in faith then we will see how God is at work in our lives.
