When Paul preached the Gospel in various places, he was generally abused in some way. In spite of that many people repented and believed the Gospel. Athens was different. The people also grabbed him and brought him to Mars Hill where they politely listened to Him. Paul proclaimed that God does not dwell in the images that we make, but in the heavens. He has sent His Son to redeem us from our sins, and proved that Jesus is Lord by His resurrection. Now He calls on all people to repent and believe the Gospel. The Athenians politely said that they would consider it, but few came to faith. Are we today so open minded, that we politely hear the Gospel, but don't take it to heart. Today the world is searching for truth. It can be found in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, our Savior.
