Scripture
27 On arriving there, they gathered the church together and reported all that God had done through them and how he had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles.
Reflection
More about open doors. Here the Apostle Paul, his team and the church gathered together to give thanks to God for the “open door” which brought faith to the Gentile, i.e. non-Jewish, world. It is a story which also included being forced out of local synagogues, expelled from the city, rejected and assault by mob violence! An open door does not mean an “easy door”; open doors for the Gospel come at a great price (Revelation 3:8).
