death, along with occasional internal strife.
Persecution served as a catalyst for
spreading the Good News of Jesus. Not only

like Samaria and Ethiopia.
The Good News spread even further

Tarsus, who considered belief in Jesus a
dangerous threat to the Jewish people. As he
was on the way to Damascus to arrest believers, the risen Messiah confronted Saul (also
known as Paul), and he became one of Jesus’
most fervent followers.
