The Service of Persecution to She Church
Acts 8:4
Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word.


The dispersed preached the gospel. Thus by the storm the seeds hitherto collected in one place are scattered hither and thither, and carried to a distance, where they germinate and bear fruit. Thus the Redeemer knows how to convert that into good which was intended only for evil; i.e., not only to hinder the contemplated wicked designs, but by means of them to obtain an unexpected furtherance of His kingdom.

(G. V. Lechler, D. D.)
