What Does Acts 13:44 Mean?
On the next sabbath, as the Gentiles had hoped, nearly the whole city gathers together to hear the word of God. What began as a synagogue address has drawn a multitude, and the message of Christ now reaches an entire town.
The word of God spreads with a power of its own when hearts are hungry. A single faithful proclamation, repeated, swells into a gathering that fills the city. This is the gospel doing what it does: drawing people from every quarter to listen. The longing of a few becomes the assembling of many, and God uses such moments to set a whole community before the call of His saving word.
