LESSON FOR AUGUST 26 BARNABAS, THE GREAT HEARTED LESSON TEXT—Acts 4:36-37; 11:19- 80. GOLDEN TEXT—"He was a good man and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith.”—Acts 11:24. DEVOTIONAL READING —Psalm 9C: 1-10. PRIMARY TOPlC—Barnabas and Paul Tell about Jesus. JUNIOR TOPIC How Barnabas Helped the Church. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC—How Barnabas Showed a Generous Spirit. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Christian Character Illustrated by Barnabas. I. Barnabas, the Man (Acts 4:36). His original name was Joseph. When he became a Christian, he was renamed Barnabas signifying the change from the old life to the new. This was a common custom, for ex ample, Simon to Peter and Saul to Paul. The name means "Son of Prophecy” or “exhortation and con solation.” This shows not only the nature and spirit of Barnabas but that he possessed the gift of horta tory preaching. The exercise of this gift made him a son of consolation. 11. Barnabas, the Philanthropist (Acts 4:37). So fully had the divine love per meated the very being of Barnabas that seeing the need of his fellow-be lievers, he sold his property and brought the money and laid it at the apostles’ feet. His generosity ex pressed Itself in deeds, not in pious words and promises. He counted nothing his own while his brethren were in need. He was in no sense obliged to do this as there was no 6uch thing in the early church ns a binding law of a community of goods. Private ownership of property was recognized, Acts 5:4. 111. Barnabas, the Christian States man (Acts 11:19-30). The violent persecutions of the church scattered the disciples. As they went they preached the Gospel, and churches were established. Tire most conspicuous of these was at An tioch, the capital of Syria, because it became the most important center in the spread of Christianity. Every thing went well as long ns the Gospel message was preached to the Jews only. The idea held among the dis ciples at that time was that the Gen tiles were excluded. But at Antioch certain of these disciples deliberately preached Christ among the Greeks. The seal of the Lord was upon this ministry nnd great multitudes believed and turned to the Lord. The news of this revolutionary preaching reached the ears of the church at Jerusalem and caused not a little excitement and discussion. The church decided to send a committee to Antioch to look into the matter. 1. Barnabas Sent to Antioch (vv. 22-24). Fortunately in this case they sent the proper man. Barnabas was a good man and full of the Holy Ghost and faith. Therefore, he had spiritual discernment and broad sym pathy. Good men are quick to see good. When he came to Antioch he saw the grace of God and was glad. If we have grace in ourselves, we will be able to see grace in others. He exhorted and urged them forward in their work. Men like Barnabas are much needed today in our churches— men of vision and Christian courtesy nnd sympathy. 2. Barnabas Goes After Saul (vv. 25-26). The work so prospered that help was needed, so Barnabas went after Saul. These men had been to gether before. After Saul’s conver sion, ha came to Jerusalem and tried to join himself to the disciples but they were afraid of him. Barnabas befriended him (Acts 9:26-27). He saw that Saul was really a converted man. Being a good man he could see there was good In Saul. Barnabas thus introduced Saul to his great work as apostle to the Gentiles. 8. Disciples Called Christians (v. 26). After a year of teaching by Paul and Barnabas, the name Christian was given to the disciples. The name was associated with the teaching. Paul taught the vital oneness of the believer with Christ so it was natural that the dlsclpies should be called Christian. 4. Barnabas and Saul go to Jeru salem With Alms (vv. 26-30). Because of the oneness of Christians with Christ and with one another, the dis tress of the brethren at Jerusalem mast be relieved by the gifts of the believers at Antioch. These gifts had a powerful effect In removing the suspicions of the brethren at Jeru salem. THOUGHT BACK WOULD BREAK Nothing Helped until She Taking Lydia E.
