[Power, September, 2001] In the eighth century B.C., Isaiah would not restrain himself from heralding the good news that would bring glory to God. He wrote, “For Zion’s sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth. And the gentiles shall see they righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name” (Isaiah 62:1-2). The new name would be given by the Lord himself when the Jews and the Gentiles were brought into the one body. God promised Abraham at the dawn of time that he would bless “all families of the earth” through him (Genesis 12:3). In “the church, which is his body,” Jew and Gentile are brought into friendship with God. Paul said, “And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby” (Ephesians 2:16). The first historical occasion for Jew and Gentile to enjoy the fellowship of the faith together in one congregation was at Antioch of Syria. The Holy Spirit recorded the wondrous event in Acts 11:26, “And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.” This marks the first time
