Saints & Sinners - Barnabus

GF: Barnabus –

What kind of bus?

GF: C’mon, Doc. Barnabus.

Oh, that guy. Well, he was like a bus. He took folks places. His name means Encourager. Everyone else was afraid of the new convert known as Saul, the Christian killer. But Barnabus took him on board and discipled him for a whole year.

GF: Wow, imagine that – discipling the Apostle Paul!

Yes, we never know how God will use someone that we encourage in the faith. Before long, Paul was in the driver’s seat taking the church to Europe.

GF: So, what became of Barnabus?

After Paul and Barnabus’s first missionary journey into Turkey, they split up and Barnabus took another young disciple on board to encourage, John Mark, who eventually wrote the Gospel of Mark.
