"All except the Apostles were scattered"
--Acts 8:1--
The mark of a mature follower of Christ, is when trials and persecution come they stand fast waiting for whatever comes. The reason these men could stay while all others were running for safety was because of there outlook. They had been with Jesus, they fellowshipped with Him, they had seen the Father because they have seen Jesus. It was in seeing Jesus that they knew His response: stand and receive your persecution, and open your arms to your trials. As He says to us His followers find your strength to stand in me, find your spirit of rest in my example. So He says to you and I, when trials and persecution come you need to walk with Me, learn of Me, and rest in Me.
