Perseverance Amid Persecution

Commentators like John Calvin and John Gill highlight Paul's incredible perseverance. Despite being forced to flee Thessalonica at night due to violent opposition, his first action upon arriving in Berea was to go straight to the synagogue. This demonstrates an unwavering commitment to his calling, serving as a powerful example for believers to not be discouraged by hardship in their own service to Christ.
