Barnabas
About this book
Barnabas had a very distinctive feature—he was a great encourager, and so was dubbed "Son of Encouragement." In this book, we will look at this warm, wonderful man and consider, not only the power of encouragement, but also how this virtue is rooted in the character of God, which might come as a surprise to some. Wherever he went, and whoever he talked to, Barnabas left people feeling better as a result. How many of us can say the same about ourselves? In these studies on the life of Barnabas, you will find examples to follow, lessons to learn, and an approach to life that all of us would do well to adopt. Bible Daily notes are written by Jeff Lucas to help you apply the lessons of God's Word daily. Each day and with each devotion, Jeff uses his signature wit and wisdom to reveal insights and practical application you can use in your own life. Each Bible devotion takes only a few minutes to read, but the lessons learned can last a lifetime.
