The First Christians

“It was there in Antioch that the believers were first called Christians.” Acts 11:26

From twelve disciples, to little groups of people scattered by persecution, the believers grew in number. It was in Antioch that they were first called Christians. They were so convicted that many were willing to leave their way of life, and even die for Christ. 

I can’t help feeling that we Christians today fall short of the standard set forth by Christ. It is said that a Christian’s life is the world’s Bible. 

Lord, may I live in such a way that even strangers who meet me will sense something different and will want to have what I have.
