Paul was only three weeks in Thessalonian. A church started and an uproar drove him out of town. I must never lose sight of what can be accomplished in three weeks. His message was the same as before, Jesus is the Messiah, He died, and rose from the dead.
The frenzied crowd drug Jason into court for hosting Paul. This was beautiful example of Christian hospitality. He did what Jesus commanded and received the earthly reward Jesus promised.
Both good and bad people followed from Thessalonica. The Bereans were more noble because they listened eagerly and read the scripture to see of these things were true. I want to be noble like that.
