Christian Persecution – The Telos Project

It was not easy being a believer in the first few centuries of the church. Many men and women were put to death for their faith in Jesus. Thus far in the book of Acts we have already seen a bit of conflict between the Jewish authorities and the apostolic believers. Peter and John have spent a few nights in jail and in the chapters we are going to look at today even experience being beaten. But the first of the followers of Jesus to actually be put to death was a man named Stephen. In today’s teaching we will see a number of events leading up to his martyrdom. In case you didn’t know, the word Jesus used to talk about those who would be witnesses of his death and resurrection was the Greek word martus. We get our word martyr from it. This was the word the authors of the gospels used to translate whatever the Aramaic word was that Jesus used. In today’s teaching we will look at another arrest of “the apostles” (probably Peter and John again), and the miraculous and somewhat humorous way they get “sprung” from prison. We will also see Stephen brought before the Sanhedrin and the lengthy explanation in Ch. 7 of his faith in Jesus. It is at the end of this message that the man who will become the main character in the second half of Acts is first introduced. His name is Saul, who will become known at Paul. With the stoning of Stephen, a great persecution breaks out against the church in Jerusalem and many believers flee the city. Wherever they go, they tell people about Jesus. We will see the result of this in coming chapters. Here is the link to today’s teaching:
