26.05.28 “Chaos in Antioch” (Acts 11:19-21)

 

In recent years one of the major global issues challenging Europe and America in particular has been MIGRATION. Wave after wave of human beings fleeing war or government corruption or religious persecution or famine or starvation or even slavery. They flee on foot or in little boats, or by whatever means possible. In many cases they are running for their lives and the future hopes of their children. We’ve all seen the news images and heard the reports of the chaos when millions of people migrate into unprepared cities and countries.  But did you know something like that was happening only months after Jesus’ resurrection and ascension? WHAT caused it and WHO were they who fled? They were followers of Jesus, mostly Messianic Jews, and they fled Jerusalem after the execution of Stephen, when a great persecution broke out against them, led by Saul the angry Pharisee. (Acts 8:1-4)
