some would receive it and some would not
should not discourage a disciple, a disciple is to remain faithful in what he/she is called to do, trusting God for the results.
there will be those who will reject us and reject the message God wants them to have, we must expect this, not all will be saved, but some will.
B. Let your peace come upon it
