Summary
So there was a little old lady who was selling pretzels on the street corner day after day selling pretzels just a dollar of pretzel and every day a young gentleman would pass by and pretty soon after he saw this woman sitting there day after day he had a generous heart and thought he would give her a dollar. The latest story that we've been studying in chapter 13 follows the disciples as they branch out and we see as Paul and Barnabas are sent out on mission to speak and proclaim the gospel to the Jews and the Paul and Barnabas end up at a synagogue and they're invited to speak a word and Paul stands up and he speaks a word. This happens over and over and over again and then ultimately God's greatest provision is through a Savior his own son Jesus Christ and then Paul continues by showing the Israelite people using scripture how Jesus really is a promise made by God and a promise fulfilled by God. The synagogue, the people of the synagogue, the Jewish leaders, they wanted a word from Paul and Paul brought that word and he brought that word with a lot of Hutsboth. jealousy drove the Jewish leaders to crucify the Messiah and when Paul and Barnabas spoke a word of forgiveness, they spoke of freedom in Jesus Christ, they spoke of freedom from seeking righteousness through the law under Moses. By no means, Paul and Barnabas knew that the gospel would be rejected by the many in the synagogue but that didn't stop them from preaching and it didn't stop them from going to the Jewish people first.
