156:2.3 [[The apostles]] and the [[evangelists]] were greatly [[cheered]] by the [[manner]] in which the [[gentiles]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidon Sidon] [[received]] their [[message]]; during their short [[sojourn]] many were added to [[the kingdom]]. This period of about six weeks in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenicia Phoenicia] was a very fruitful time in the [[work]] of winning [[souls]], but the later [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_early_Christian_writers Jewish writers] of the [[Gospels]] were wont lightly to pass over the [[record]] of this warm [[reception]] of [[Jesus]]' teachings by these [[gentiles]] at this very time when such a large number of his own people were in [[hostile]] array against him.

156:2.4 In many ways these [[gentile]] believers [[appreciated]] [[Jesus]]' teachings more fully than the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jews Jews[. Many of these [[Greek]]-speaking [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_names_for_the_biblical_nameless#Syrophoenician_woman Syrophoenicians] came to know not only that [[Jesus]] was like [[God]] but also that God was like Jesus. These so-called [[heathen]] achieved a [[good]] [[understanding]] of [[the Master]]'s teachings about the [[uniformity]] of the [[laws]] of this world and the entire [[universe]]. They grasped the teaching that [[God]] is no respecter of [[persons]], [[races]], or [[nations]]; that there is no [[favoritism]] with the [[Universal Father]]; that the [[universe]] is wholly and ever [[law]]-abiding and unfailingly dependable. These [[gentiles]] were not afraid of [[Jesus]]; they [[dared]] to [[accept]] his [[message]]. All down through the ages men have not been unable to [[comprehend]] Jesus; they have been afraid to.

156:2.5 [[Jesus]] made it [[clear]] to the twenty-four that he had not fled from [[Galilee]] because he lacked [[courage]] to [[confront]] his [[enemies]]. They [[comprehended]] that he was not yet ready for an open clash with [[established]] [[religion]], and that he did not seek to become a [[martyr]]. It was during one of these [[conferences]] at the home of Justa that [[the Master]] first told his [[disciples]] that " even though [[heaven]] and [[earth]] shall pass away, my [[words]] of [[truth]] shall not.
