Our Young Adults Group meets for discussions about the Bible and Christian Living every Friday and it’s usually very lively. In one particular discussion a few weeks back, something stuck with me and I’ve been itching to write about this but put it off…but here it is finally.

I can’t really remember what our discussion topic was about that Friday, but towards the end of the discussion David mentioned Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs as the widely taught and accepted view of what the basic human needs are. According to Maslow, humans have to satisfy the lower needs in the heirarchy before moving on to satisfy the higher needs.

But Jesus turns the entire Maslow hierarchy UPSIDE DOWN, and challenges us all to live our lives beyond the ordinary FIRST before worrying about the other things of this world. Jesus shows us that the path to fulfilment heads in the opposite direction.

BARNABAS

There were many leaders in the early church, but few were as humble and influential as Barnabas.

His name was Joseph, but the apostles gave him the name “Barnabas” (BAR-nuh-bus) which means Son of Encouragement. It was an appropriate name because he was an encouragement to all who knew him. There were thousands of Jews in Jerusalem who were converted on the day of Pentecost and the days following. They had not come prepared for an extended stay in the city, and yet many of them stayed on to hear the apostles’ preaching. Their money was used up, and they became poor and in need.

Some people who had property, sold it and gave the money to the apostles so they could feed the multitude of needy people. One of those who sold a field was Barnabas from the island of Cyprus.

He was a Levite. According to the distribution of land when the Israelites entered Canaan, the Levites were given cities and pastureland around the cities for their cattle. The pastures extended 3,000 feet (over half a mile) in all four directions from each Levite city. Barnabas sold a field he owned and brought the proceeds to the apostles.

Peter, since the Lord had given him the “keys” to the kingdom, was the one who first preached to the Gentiles. Yet it was Paul, whom the Lord chose to be his special preacher to the Gentile nation. When he was a new convert, Paul went to Jerusalem and tried to contact the believers there, but they were afraid of him.

What if he was just pretending to be a believer in Christ? What if he was really just trying to find them and arrest them?

Barnabas saw what was happening. He himself had the trust and respect of the believers, and he thought Paul was sincere. If he introduced Paul to the apostles in Jerusalem, the others would accept him. That’s what he did. Barnabas told them how Paul had been converted and how he was now preaching about Jesus.

The church accepted him, and he was able to stay in Jerusalem. Then evil men began to try to kill Paul and the brothers sent him to Tarsus.

Later Barnabas would go to Tarsus looking for Paul again. He found him and brought him to the city of Antioch and the two of them preached in the city for a whole year.

The Holy Spirit directed the work of Paul and Barnabas, and they traveled to many cities preaching the good news about Jesus.

Barnabas was truly the Son of Encouragement who always looked for the best in people, and his faith in them was rewarded.
