Shepherd to Sheep

Acts 15:39-40a

"Then the contention became so sharp that they parted from one another. So Barnabas took Mark and sailed to Cyprus; but Paul took Silas and departed…..”

We see the two men of God in a passionate discussion, strong words like insisted and contention marking the passage. Though not in total agreement, the ministry continued with ongoing works which would have eternal ramifications. Without gossip or slander, the effect of men like Barnabas, the son of encouragement, was to continue to build up those like Mark who was in the midst. The New Testament world would forever be touched by men like these who put aside hurt feelings and ill will, to move forward with the gospel message.
