Divided

"The people of the city were divided" (Acts 14.4)
This is the summary given of the situation in Iconium where Paul and Barnabas were preaching the good news of Jesus. You would think that with Paul and Barnabas' powerful preaching that the whole city would have accepted Jesus, but they did not. This is one more occurrence of the classic "mixed response to the gospel." That is the way that some accept Jesus and others do not. It happened even with Jesus himself.
This is good news for us who try to love and share the grace of God, only to be rejected by some people. Some folks will not accept our love or the message of Jesus. That does not mean we have failed. It means that all people have free will and some will use that free will to reject Jesus.
It is not up to us to make everyone accept Jesus, for they simply will not. Ours is only to share the light of Christ in our spheres of influence (the people we encounter) and let those who will accept the good news of salvation through Jesus.
