Barnabas the Man (Acts 4 :3G). H!? original name was Joseph. When he became a Christian he was by the :ijM?stles renamed Rarnabas. which doubtless signifies the change from the old life to the new. This was a com men custom, e. p., Simon to Peter and j s nil to Paul. The name means "son j prophecy" or "son of exhortation , and consolation." This shows not only :hc nature and spirit of Rarnabas but indicates that he possessed a gift o? rtatory preaching. II. Barnabas the Philanthropist 1 (Acts 4::t7>. S.i fully had the divine love per- | moated the very being of Rarnabas, I Th.ii. seeing the need of his fellow j believers, lie sold his property and | '.rought the money and laid it at the 1 "Ties' feet. Hp was In no sense j Miged to do this us there was no - ich binding law of a community ot goods in the early church. Private own ^hip of property was recognized (Acts r?:4). L III. Barnabas the Christian States man (Acts ?:2B-30; 11:19-30). 1. Befriended Saul (0:20, 27). After Saul's conversion he came to Jerusa a and tried to join himself to the . - Spies, hut they were afraid of him Barnabas saw that Saul was really a converted man. Being a good man he \ mild see there was good In Saul. To be able to Judge personality Is the r'rst mark of a Christian statesman. - Sent to Antioch (Acts 11:22-24) Violent persecutions of the Church sent many disciples to the regions about tr.e Mediterranean sen. As they went | they preached the gospel and churches were established. The most conspicuous of these was at Antioch. the capital of Syria, becoming the most important center in the spread of Chris linnity. Everything went well as long as the gospel was preached to the Jews only, but certain of these disciples deliberately preached Christ among the Greeks. They announced to them that God had become incarnated in a man. that that man. after a ministry of love and grace, had died a sacrificial death on the cross, and that salvation was now offered to all who would accept him. Tidings having reached the ears of the Jerusalem Church that a great work of grace was expressing Itself hrough the Grecians who were preaching the Lord Jesus Christ at Antioch, Barnabas was sent to look after it. Barnabas was a good man and full of the Holy Ghost and faith. He. therefore, had spiritual discernment and broad sympathy. Those who have grace in themselves will be able to see grace In others. He exhorted them and urged them forward in their work. 3. Goes after Saul (11:25. 2G). The work at Antioch so prospered that help was needed; therefore, Barnabas went after Saul. Barnabas thus Introduced Saul to his great work as the apostle L to the Gentiles. The gifts of both of these men were needed on that field. Different temperaments when brought into harmony by God's grace are needed in the church. T 4. Disciples called Christians fl??t \ ,n f ?!?*! ( . 26). After a year of b teaching by Paul and Barnabas the || name "Christian" was given to the disciples. Observe that the name was associated with the teaching. Paul Iaught the vital oneness of the believer with Christ! therefore, it was natural that the disciples should be called Christians. The notion that the M name "Christian" was given in de- you rison has no factual basis. M IV. Barnabas the Dispenser of Alms ^ (w. 27-30). Because of the oneness of we? Christians with Christ and with one another, the distress of the brethren at Jerusalem must be relieved by the M1 gifts of believers at Antioch. The inai Spirit of God, through Agabus. made "I known the coming dearth which was Cay to prevail throughout all the world, ing The disciples were therefore moved, fun according to their ability, to send relief nnto the brethren in Judea. These gifts had a powerful effect in remov- A log the suspicions ? the brethren at cret Jerusalem. q tiki', i Mil IHi "ililh"ilin'liiti " Ml & - ^ The Cherokee Scout, Murphy, N.
