Opposition on the Journey Acts 9:23-31

23 After many days had passed, the Jews conspired to kill him, 24 but their plot became known to Saul. So they were watching the gates day and night intending to kill him, 25 but his disciples took him by night and lowered him in a large basket through ⌊ an opening in ⌋ the wall. Acts 9:23-25

26 When he arrived in Jerusalem, he tried to associate with the disciples, but they were all afraid of him, since they did not believe he was a disciple. 27 Barnabas, however, took him and brought him to the apostles and explained to them how Saul had seen the Lord on the road and that He had talked to him, and how in Damascus he had spoken boldly in the name of Jesus. Acts 9:26-27

28 Saul was coming and going with them in Jerusalem, speaking boldly in the name of the Lord. 29 He conversed and debated with the Hellenistic Jews, but they attempted to kill him. 30 When the brothers found out, they took him down to Caesarea and sent him off to Tarsus. Acts 9:28-30

31 So the church throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace, being built up and walking in the fear of the Lord and in the encouragement of the Holy Spirit, and it increased in numbers. Acts 9:31

Opposition to the message (23-25) Paul went to the synagogue to preach Jesus. The Jews got so mad, they decided to kill him. The message of Jesus will always bring about opposition.

Opposition to cooperation (26-27) Paul’s desire for fellowship was rejected. Paul was befriended by Barnabas. Paul was diligent about being with other believers. It is a mark of spiritual maturity to desire to be with other believers In the midst of controversy Paul sought Christian fellowship; so should we.

Opposition to the truth (28-30) When opposition comes, new Christians need mentors. As Paul proclaimed the truth about Jesus, people began to oppose him. Opposition to the truth is to be expected.

In the midst of opposition, the journey continues… (31) …in peace – The church…had peace. …in strength – being built up …in honor – walking in the fear of the Lord …with encouragement of the Holy Spirit …in growth – it increased in numbers.
