Hard-working missionary can’t win ’em all . . .
Sunday sermons, weekday observations
Fascinating account of Paul in Corinth, meeting a Jewish couple from Italy, which they had been forced leave with other Jews by emperor’s order, joining the tentmakers, preaching up a storm to Jewish and Greek residents (“entered into discussions,” says the text), winning some, losing some, as in the case of Jews in a synagogue giving him a hard time, Paul saying in effect, “It’s your call,” and walking out.
Took to the house of a believing man, which lo and behold was next to another synagogue, whose “official” he convinced to come aboard the good ship Jesus. Etc. A good story today, as these Acts of the Apostles unfold.
