Lesson 3651

(Lesson 3651)(01-03-22) Acts 11:25-30

    “Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul: And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch. And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem unto Antioch. And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by the Spirit that there should be great dearth throughout all the world: which came to pass in the days of Claudius Caesar. Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in Judaea: Which also they did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.”

    Today’s quote relates that those who chose to believe in Jesus Christ were first called Christians at Antioch.

    Today’s quote also tells us that the Christians in Antioch set an example for the churches when they sent “relief” to the Christians in  Judea when Judea was in the grasp of a terrible drought.~
