As we look to the Bible for heroes, we often find people whose lives we’d love to emulate, but for whatever reason, we feel like we’ll never measure up. We don’t have the faith of Abraham, the courage of David or the wisdom of Moses. We don’t have the passion of Paul or the imagination of John.
But Barnabas – he’s one of us. We can be like Barnabas. And the church would be better off if we were.
