Antioch : Acts 11:19-26
Have you ever driven by the Antioch Christian Church in Toluca,
And wondered where they got their name?
The city of Antioch was called “the cradle of Christianity”
and was the first place that the followers of Jesus were called “Christian.”
Sts. Peter, Paul and Barnabas all visited and preached in Antioch.
But because of war and changes in trade routes,
Antioch fell into decline.
The next time you drive by the Antioch Christian Church in Toluca, say a prayer for our fellow Christians,
Who by their very name keep the Spirit of Antioch
And its revered name alive.
