Commentary on Acts 11:20
Some believers from Cyprus and Cyrene 'spake unto the Grecians, preaching the Lord Jesus' in Antioch. These unnamed believers pioneered Gentile evangelism, likely emboldened by Peter's Caesarean mission. Their message centered on 'the Lord Jesus' - emphasizing both Jesus' identity as Lord and Savior. Reformed theology celebrates how ordinary believers (not apostles) initiated the Gentile mission in Antioch. God uses whom He wills to accomplish His purposes, not merely prominent leaders but also unnamed faithful witnesses.
