Grace for your spirit February 27, 2013

Grace for your spirit
But Barnabas took hold of him and brought him to the apostles, and described to them house he had seen the Lord on the road, and that he had talked to Him, and how at Damascus he had spoken out boldly in the name of Jesus.  Acts 9:27

Barnabas had proven to be a great encouragement to everyone around him.  He led by example and got fully involved.  When Paul was first converted, he needed help.  Barnabas didn't send him, but he took hold of him and brought him with a personal recommendation to the apostles.   Often new people in the church are just like Paul.  The need someone to take hold of them, introduce them, recommend them, and bind them to the body.  Let's' get to know those who are new among us.  We may have found a great Christian worker for the future if they are properly nurtured.  Let''s be an encourager.  Let's be a Barnabas.
