GOD USES TROUBLE!
Paul, knowing the importance of
continued teaching and
encouragement, approached
Barnabas about visiting the
brethren in all the cities in which
they had previously preached.
Barnabas strongly desired to take his
cousin (Colossians 4:10 NKJV, ASV,
NIV, ESV), John Mark, on the
journey. Paul did not want to go with
the man who had left them at Perga
(Acts 15:36-38; 13:13). Paul and
Barnabas were so firm in their
opinions, even to the point of being
provoked to anger, that they had to
separate.
God used the disagreement between
these two great men of faith to
produce two teams to go preach the
Gospel. Barnabas went with John
Mark to Cyprus, his homeland (Acts
15:39; 4:36). Paul took Silas, one of
the leading men among the brethren
at Jerusalem (Acts 15:22). They went
through Syria and Cilicia to southern
Galatia, strengthening the churches
along the way (Acts 15:40-41).
“The one redeeming note in this
otherwise unhappy and regrettable
episode is that neither party to the
dispute permitted it to hinder the
work of God” (James Burton
Coffman, Commentary on Acts 305).
Paul later referred to Barnabas as a
good example of one who worked to
support himself while preaching. He
also described John Mark as one who
was useful in ministry (1 Corinthians
9:6; 2 Timothy 4:11).
Disagreements between brethren can
be the devil’s tool to bring good
works to a standstill. The Christian
who allows some painful incident to
become his/her excuse for sitting on
the stool of do-nothing gives Satan
the victory. The one who presses on
in service to the King can see bad
situations work out to the
furtherance of the Gospel (Philip.
1:12).
There are two motivations for
preaching the Gospel—selfish
ambition and love. Our job is not to
be heart inspectors seeking to correct
every improper motive. Instead, like
Paul, we should say, “What then?
Only that in every way, whether in
pretense or in truth, Christ is
preached: and in this I rejoice, yes,
and will rejoice” (Philip. 1:15-18).
