S - Scripture
Acts 17 v. 32 Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but other said, "We will hear you again about this."
O – Observation
Mixed reaction. That's what happened to Paul as he completed his sermon to the folks in Athens. Ridicule to curiosity to belief. Acts 17 v. 34, "But some men joined him and believed." I think that is going to be representative of any one that shares the Good News of Christ. You will get a mixed bag. Some of it not so pleasant- ridicule. But this much is true, the benefits FAR OUT WEIGH the negatives. Would you be willing to be made fun of if you could play a part in saving a person's eternal life? Or let me put it this way, wouldn't you want someone to be ridiculed if they would be part of saving your eternal life? So experience the mixed reaction. Someone will thank you!!!
A - Application
Am I experiencing/causing mixed reactions?
P - Prayer
Jesus, Help me to share your good news in spite of any mixed reactions. Love Will
