Biblical Readings for the Day:
ACTS 8:1b-8 Psalm 66: 1-7 John 6: 35-40
Psalm Response:"Let all the earth cry out to God with Joy!"
Commentaters speculate the persecution was limited to the Greek speaking Jews, as the Aramaic Jews still worshiped and involved themselves in the Temple ritual, whereas, in Samaria and towns away from the Temple, engaged in their own ceremony and ritual.
It appears the Apostles were content to evangelize in the Jerusalem area. Christ, however, had enjoined them to preach the Good News to every creature on earth. A practical solution to their complacency was, whereas they brought Jesus' teaching, eventually, was to bring about persecution, thereby scattering the disciples to the far corners of the then known world.
God wants all to be saved. All are given faith through the intercessary prayer of the Holy Spirit, the Saints in heaven, our friends and our personal committment to the teaching dogma of the Church.
We are the scattered.If we become the banner of righteousness by our demeaner,the resultant will be more converts to the true Christian Way!
