THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY
1-The followers of Jesus called themselves "the people of the way"
2-The stoning death of Stephen sparked a round of persecution of Jesus'
followers in Jerusalem and sent many of them fleeing to surrounding cities in
Syria-
3-Lydia, Phoebe and Priscilla are not as well known as Peter and Paul, but
they were crucial players in the life of the early church-
4-In the face of deadly persecution by Jewish and Roman authorities, the
earliest followers of Jesus were basically outlawed cults until emperor
Constantine converted
in 313CE and Christianity became Rome's dominant religion-
5-The Hebrew scriptures composition was spread over more than a thousand
years. The books of the New Testament were written within a time of about fifty
years.
