So, Herod kills an Apostle or two, sends others to prison and starts chasing them out of Jerusalem. It’s curtains for Christianity… right? Nope.
It wasn’t over then, and it isn’t over now.
If you haven’t noticed by now, the Christian faith is not built for comfort and contemplation. It’s built for conflict and confrontations. It’s here to look a cruddy culture in the eye and demand change.
We are given spiritual arms and armor not hammocks and recliners.
So it should hardly surpise anyone that when Herod kicked Christians out of Jerusalem, he was like the moron at a campfire putting out a fire by kicking embers out of the fire pit onto the nearby grass.
Something is going to happen, but NOT the thing he wanted.
All he managed to accomplish is for the Church to break containment.
It was slingshotted deep into enemy territory, and deep in enemy territory is where the gospel work REALLY begins to get interesting.
