Acts 28

Daily Devotional from Acts 28--

Verse 24 (CSB)

Some were persuaded by what [Paul] said, but others did not believe.

Isn’t it encouraging that it tells us that not everyone agreed with Paul? When we think about him, we sometimes think he’s some sort of Spiritual superhero that convinced everyone about Jesus. But here it tells us that some people still didn’t believe what he was saying. Even Paul couldn’t convince everyone. 

Some people are not going to believe in Jesus. And it has nothing to do with how well you explain the gospel or how eloquent your words are. All you are asked to be is a witness of God’s saving power in Jesus. Trust the Holy Spirit and continue to speak out and declare who God is. 

You don’t have to be eloquent or convincing, because not everyone is going to believe. But those who will believe will be thankful you spoke up.
