The early church was at a turning point. Up until now, the gospel had been primarily preached to the Jews. But Acts 11 tells us that because of persecution, some believers went to Antioch and started preaching to the Gentiles. This was huge! These believers—ordinary men and women—did something that had never been done before. They broke through cultural and religious barriers to bring the good news of Jesus to people who were completely different from them. That’s what we’re called to do, too. The gospel isn’t just for people who look like us, think like us, or live near us. It’s for everyone, and we have to be willing to go beyond our comfort zones to share it.
