Jesus Is to Be the Theme of Our Life and Conversation ㅡ
“Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord.” (Acts 11:23)
It was here that the disciples were first called Christians.
This name was given them because Christ was the main theme of their preaching, teaching, and conversation.
They were continually recounting the incidents of His life during the time in which His disciples were blessed with His personal company.
They dwelt untiringly upon His teachings, His miracles of healing the sick, casting out devils, and raising the dead to life.
With quivering lips and tearful eyes they spoke of His agony in the garden, His betrayal, trial, and execution, the forbearance and humility with which He endured the contumely and torture imposed upon Him by His enemies, and the Godlike pity with which He prayed for those who persecuted Him.
His resurrection and ascension and his work in heaven as a Mediator for fallen man were joyful topics with them.
The heathen might well call them Christians, since they preached of Christ and addressed their prayers to God through Him.
