Acts8,1 And Saul was there, giving approval to his death. On that day a great persecution broke out against the church at Jerusalem, and all except the apostles were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria. 2 Godly men buried Stephen and mourned deeply for him. 3 But Saul began to destroy the church. Going from house to house, he dragged off men and women and put them in prison.

*It is hard to understand, that when a group of people is doing so much good to the fellow men and they realize it all - the miracles, the love, the joy - every thing for what this group of people stands for. They hear about Ananias&Saphira and need to realize how holy this group of people most be. And against all of this, they start to persecute them!/the same with Jesus! Why would we like to kill the only person who really helped - ever? / If i am choosing Sin - i choose killing Jesus over following him / i can drive out all what i learned from Jesus - out of my thinking.pray for a willing heart and that i want to obey!

*and all except the apostles were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria. The Apostles only stayed in Jerusalem. This is very interesting. Maybe because Jesus told them they should wait in Jerusalem. Do not know why. This means, that the disciples left Jerusalem without their leaders, preachers, teachers. The disciples are on their own now -what will they do? How do i life, if no one is watching me? Praying - need to seek God in prayer!

*But Saul... Saul immediately started with horrible work. In the chapter before, at the moment of Stoning Stephen, he is descirbed as a young man. He was this young man, who was destroing the church. He was teached by Gamaliel. Gamaliel sad in Acts5:(...)39 But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God. I guess Gamaliel was not aproving what his student Paul was doing. Some times i want something so much, that i do not listen to what ever advise i get - even it is good advise. What is on my hart today? I need to pray.
