The Barnabas Quest

If there was a Saul of Tarsus who had been converted and passed your way, would you risk your reputation and integrity to see to it that he was accepted by others? Would your particular church view you as a rabble-rouser if you attempted to do so? Would that have any significant influence in terms of you being like Barnabas? In The Barnabas Quest, each of us will have to be completely transparent before the Lord and examine whether we are ready and willing to be and do whatever is required of us by Him in the implementation of Romans 15:7 to: "Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God" (NIV)? Will you be or become a Barnabas (an encourager and consoler) for Jesus Christ?
