And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch And for an entire year they met with the church and taught considerable numbers; and the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch. Acts 11:26
Was Antioch the first place that disciples were called Christians, or was it also a church where the disciples were primarily identified by their Christian lives. How about us? How do people primarily identify, and speak of us? We may be Christians, Union members, Republicans, Democrats, Shriners, Americans, and bingo playing electricians. This Gentile church was so on fire for the Lord, and it appears that being Christians was their primary vocation, and everything else was their avocation. What about us? May Christ so dwell in us, so that the first thing people think of is Jesus, and He is always in first place.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
