As you listen to news from far away do you sometimes have a desire to go and see for yourself, to become part of what you have heard reports about? Because I at one time lived not far from New York City, when I heard reports of the horrible news of 911, I felt drawn to go and see 'ground zero' for myself, and I did, several weeks after that tragedy. I did the same a few months after the devastating earthquake which nearly destroyed Port-au-Prince, Haiti about a decade ago, because I grew up in that city. In our journey with the apostles in the historical account of the books of Acts, we spent yesterday in the city of Antioch, Syria as a remarkable spiritual movement was happening there about 2000 years ago. Antioch was a very large, multicultural city and this one statement summarizes an exciting time there: "The Lord's hand was with them and a great number of people believed and turned to the Lord Jesus Christ." (Acts 11:21) The Jesus movement which had launched in Jerusalem and spread to Samaria and then Damascus and then Caesarea was now powerfully impacting Antioch, Syria!
