On Sunday, Bro V shared a sermonette on Barnabas and how he was an exemplary encourager for us to learn from.
What caught my attention most was this particular point:
Barnabas accepted Mark even when Paul rejected him.
The insight:
1) When Paul was formerly Saul, he was the foremost of sinners, having persecuted and killed Christians. He was a barbaric pariah in their sight. Yet it was Barnabas who appected him with open arms and gave him a second chance.
2) Yet when it was young Mark's turn to become weak, though not to the extent of (S)Paul's former wickedness, Paul could not accept him.
It was Barnabas again, who gave Mark a second chance.
Barnabas never stopped encouraging others. Little wonder why should we as well.
Lord, please help us to be Sons of Encouragement
