Joy Out Of Pain

Acts 8:4-8

Those who had been scattered preached the word wherever they went. Philip went down to a city in Samaria and proclaimed the Messiah there. When the crowds heard Philip and saw the signs he performed, they all paid close attention to what he said. For with shrieks, impure spirits came out of many, and many who were paralysed or lame were healed. So there was great joy in that city. (NIVUK)

After Stephen's murder by the religious leaders (Acts 7:54-60), there was a large scale persecution of the new believers in Jesus (Acts 8:1-3). Many people left Jerusalem; some travelled north into Samaria. It was safer; the zealous Jews despised the Samaritans and would not go there, even to travel through the region, because of their mixed race and religious background (John 4:9).
