Envy At the Success of the Gospel
Acts 13:42-52
And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles sought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath.…


A witness —

I. AGAINST THE ENVIOUS.

1. Their secret pride.

2. Their evil conscience.

3. Their internal unhappiness.

II. FOR THE ENVIED. There must be something in it.

1. A truth which cannot be denied.

2. A good against which we cannot contend.

3. A blessedness which cannot be mocked away.

(K. Gerok.)
