"A great wave of persecution began that day, sweeping over the church in Jerusalem; and all the believers except the apostles were scattered through the regions of Judea and Samaria. … But the believers who were scattered preached the Good News about Jesus wherever they went."
The disciples no doubt preferred to be together and enjoy fellowship in peace. However, God prodded them out of their comfort zones because he had some big plans to accomplish through them. God allowed the disciples to be persecuted for a time so that they would scatter and preach the gospel in places they probably wouldn't have traveled to otherwise. When life throws you curveballs, know that there is a purpose in it. And that purpose likely has something to do with communicating the Good News in some way!
