19 Now those who had been scattered by the persecution that broke out when Stephen was killed traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus and Antioch, spreading the word only among Jews. 20 Some of them, however, men from Cyprus and Cyrene, went to Antioch and began to speak to Greeks also, telling them the good news about the Lord Jesus.
Interesting how God used the persecution as a tool to spread the word over a wider area by everyone being spread out. Also, is this the start of our little Antioch Baptist Church in Waterloo IA? Can I get an Amen? Hallelujah?
knut
Only thing I remember about Antioch Baptist....was the db softball team.....ahahaha
ReplyDeleteI noticed the same thing you did....that God took something that, I'm sure his followers saw as a great negative, and used it completely for his advantage.
Way to be smarter than us God!
