Persecution at times is isolated but often it begins with a flashpoint and-then spreads through mob rule. This is what our passage before us describes. The death of-Stephen is the beginning of intense persecution for the Church in Jerusalem. But that is not the-real story. The real story is that as the people fled this persecution, they fled with the gospel on-their lips. This passage shows us that the way the gospel truly advances is not through gimmicks-or power-events but through faithful men and women who believe that the gospel is the only-means of salvation and life and they therefore say that to those they evangelize.
