06/21 Acts 17:11
11 And the people of Berea were more open-minded than those in Thessalonica, and they listened eagerly to Paul’s message. They searched the Scriptures day after day to see if Paul and Silas were teaching the truth.
DIFFERENT
THESSALONICA was actively suppressing the Gospel.
They hated Jesus and wanted nothing to do with Him.
Therefore, Paul left and traveled to Berea.
The Bereans gladly heard the Gospel.
They listened to Paul and accepted Jesus.
Not a great distance between cities but an eternity of difference
