Called Christians

Acts 11:26 “and when he found him, (Paul) he brought him to Antioch.  So for a whole year Barnabas and Saul (Paul) met with the church and taught great numbers of people.  The disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.” You and I call ourselves Christians.  When did that name first apply?  This verse answers that question.  Paul and Barnabas seem to be responsible.  And where did that name begin?  In Antioch, a present city in southern Turkey.  Christians still live there.  (Interesting facts to close our week) Have a great weekend.
