Paul Comes Out of Obscurity
Barnabas found Paul in Tarsus and brought him to Antioch. The Antioch church was becoming a very powerful and influential church. The revival fire that burned there had come from the fire that started in Jerusalem. Antioch would become Paul's home base. It is now 44 A.D., and Paul had faded from the scene for about seven years. Now he is coming into view again and beginning his ministry as a teacher. Later he would blossom into an apostle. It was in Antioch, Syria that the believers were first called Christians. Before this they were known as “disciples.”
