Stephen's stoning ignited a firestorm of persecution in Jerusalem which resulted in the scattering of the saints and the dispersion of their witness just as Jesus had predicted. Luke followed Jesus' pattern in constructing his record, tracing the path of the Church and its witness from Jerusalem into Judea and then Samaria (8:1). Luke's account of the Samaritan mission is both significant and intriguing: significant because of its relation to the fulfillment of the Lord's pledge of global mission resulting in a global and diverse household of faith; intriguing because of the staged manner of the Spirit's work in Samaria. This sermon interacts with those issues by considering the larger salvation-historical place and importance of the Samaritan mission.
