When you’re feeling beaten up, it’s good to go home. Home is a place that feels welcoming, and hopefully there are people there who support and love you. That’s what Paul and Barnabas are heading back to, and Paul certainly has the right to have claimed being beaten up. Getting back home is where we regain our footing and the sense of who we are so we can be strong. That was what God gave Paul in the Antioch church.
