Back to Jerusalem.

Acts 8:25, And so, when they had solemnly testified and spoken the word of the Lord, they started back to Jerusalem, and were preaching the gospel to many villages of the Samaritans.

The trip to Samaria was made to bless new believers, to pray for them, for the laying on of hands that they who were baptized into Jesus might receive the Holy Spirit. Isn’t it interesting that this came out of tremendous persecution and that one of the most persecuted churches in modern times has recaptured this vision of "back to Jerusalem?"

Open our eyes to the possibilities that You have even in the face of great trials, difficulties and persecution, O Lord!
