When people who wanted to hear the word of God gathered in Antioch in Pisidia, not everyone rejoiced at it. What Paul preached was the news that Jesus Christ had all the sins of the world transferred to Him once and for all through the baptism He received from John, shed His blood on the Cross to pay the price of those sins, and rose again from death, so that people receive the remission of sins through Him. But some people, rather than looking at that word, saw the multitude that had gathered and were envious. As the same gospel of the water and the Spirit was being preached, those who accepted the word and those who slandered it were divided. This passage makes us, too, examine the heart that puts our own thoughts ahead of the word of God. This is because if one resents another person’s hearing the word of salvation, one ends up opposing even God, who is working for that person’s salvation.
