Wednesday of the Third Week of Easter
Stephen’s murder caused panic among the small community of believers. Several of them escaped Jerusalem and headed north toward Samaria. Their fear did not prevent them from speaking of Jesus, however. The Holy Spirit worked many miracles through Philip, in particular, who proclaimed Jesus to very receptive audiences.
Jesus did the will of his Father. He promised to receive everyone that the Father gave him. Through the Spirit working through ministers both then and now, more and more believers are being received by Christ.
