BARNABAS The Son of Encouragement - James E Roberts - February 1986

James E Roberts

The apostle Paul charged through the open door to reach the gentiles, but God used Barnabas to open it! Why was Barnabas called the "son of encouragement"? The apostle Barnabas bent over the bloodied body, perplexed and distressed. At the first moan and stir of what had appeared to be a corpse, the little coterie of Christians gasped in disbelief. Then the short, stocky torso turned. Paul slowly sat up among the blood-stained stones. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
