Acts 11

Peter returns to Jerusalem, where he is questioned intensely about his travels and work among the Gentiles in Caesarea. Peter gives a beautiful description of God's working among "the nations" and the news that God has allowed others to receive the gift of repentance thrills the assembled believers. More followers are added from among these non-Jewish nations; and from them we get a new term - little Christ, or "Christian" - courtesy of the believers assembled in Antioch. The love and care demonstrated among these scattered believers is seen as they assist those in other areas facing famine. They were known, as Jesus said they would be, by their love for one another, and their love for others.
