Out Of The Comfort Zone

Acts 11:19-21

Now those who had been scattered by the persecution that broke out when Stephen was killed travelled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus and Antioch, spreading the word only among Jews. 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. The Lord's hand was with them, and a great number of people believed and turned to the Lord. (NIVUK)

Stephen's martyrdom was not a tragedy; it was all part of God's plan (Acts 8:4). The new believers realised that they were no longer safe in Jerusalem: the honeymoon of the church was over (Acts 2:47). Friends and relatives could not be trusted, and the religious police (organised by Saul) imprisoned people who trusted in Jesus (Acts 8:3). But the uncomfortable disruption experienced by the church was part of God's plan to bring the gospel to the world.
