Jealous, hungry, and haughty. These three words capture the response to the gospel of the cities of Thessalonica, Berea, and Athens of the cities in Acts 17. Each one of these reactions sees the gospel differently and each one of these requires a different approach. The first one, Jealousy is an emotional response where the gospel is perceived as a threat. The second one is a spiritual response where the gospel is shown to be the fulfillment of the Scriptures. The third response is an intellectual response where the gospel is disdained as unworthy of serious consideration.
