In the city of Antioch, believers in Jesus were first called Christians, a name given by outsiders rather than chosen by themselves. The term meant “little Christ” and reflected their lifestyle, but Jesus emphasized discipleship, which goes deeper than a label. The Bible mentions “Christian” only three times, while “disciple” appears over 250 times, showing God’s greater focus on transformed lives. Being a disciple means living out Christ’s teachings daily, not just carrying a title or symbol. The difference is like wearing gym clothes versus actually exercising, or owning a fishing pole versus catching fish. While the name Christian can be honorable, discipleship is where real fruit, obedience, and lasting joy are found. Ultimately, God calls His people not just to carry His name but to embody His ways, living as true disciples whose lives reflect Christ beyond the label.

It exposes the darkness of exploitation and calls believers to stand as defenders of the vulnerable. God’s Word demands that we raise our voices for justice and refuse to stay silent in the face of evil. We are urged to move beyond passive outrage into faithful action that reflects Christ’s heart. This is a call for courage compassion and commitment to protect God’s children.

This message calls us to see Israel not only as a nation in the headlines but as the centerpiece of God’s unfolding plan. The Bible makes it clear that Jerusalem is a stage where prophecy continues to play out before the eyes of the world. Every fulfilled promise reminds us that God is faithful and His Word never fails. We are urged to pray for Israel and to watch with hope as God’s purposes move forward. Above all, this is a call to trust the Lord who guards His people and prepares His church for the return of Christ.
