Paul refused to let rejection stop the gospel. That’s what Acts 13 through 15 teaches us. When Jewish leaders threw him out of synagogues, he turned to the Gentiles. When entire cities rose up against him, he went to the next town. He got stoned, left for dead, and what did he do? Got up and kept preaching. This wasn’t stubbornness. This was a man who understood his mission mattered more than his comfort. Paul saw Jesus on that Damascus road and everything changed. His credentials, his reputation, his safety, none of it compared to making Christ known. And here’s what inspires us today. Paul didn’t just endure hardship, he expected it. He knew suffering would come and he went anyway. When controversy erupted about how Gentiles could be saved, Paul fought for grace over legalism. He stood firm on the truth that faith in Jesus is enough. No additions, no requirements beyond Christ. His heart wasn’t about building his own kingdom. It was about expanding God’s. That’s the standard. When we face opposition, when ministry gets hard, when people reject the message, we remember Paul. We get back up. We keep going. The gospel is worth it.
