As you read today, please take time to let your mind grab the significance of this first recorded missionary work. Notice how some were so open to the message while others were so opposed. If you saw the move Thor this year, you can imagine how the people of Lystra thought that they were gods who came down to earth. That false, demonic view of deity was rampant in that time and place. Watch how the crowd swiftly goes from the desire to sacrifice to them to a murderous rage. Then, see how Paul and Barnabas got to the end of the journey and went back to strengthen each new church before they went home. If a picture is worth a thousand words, these two chapters are worth a thousand pictures!
