Song # 1964.1 from Our Gospel In Song Collection by Col Johnston. Not everything in our Christian life will go as planned, and sometimes we may have disagreements with others as happened between Paul and Barnabas that we read about in Acts chapter 15.
Some time later after they had arrived in Antioch, Paul said to Barnabas “Let us go back and visit the brothers in all the towns where we have preached the word of the Lord and see how they are doing” (Acts 15:35-36). Barnabas wanted to take John, also called Mark, with them (Acts 15:37). But Paul did not think it wise to take him, because he had deserted them in Pamphylia and had not continued with them in the work (Acts 15:38). They had such a sharp disagreement that they parted company. Barnabas took Mark and sailed for Cyprus (Acts 15:39), but Paul chose Silas and left, commended by the brothers to the grace of the Lord (Acts 15:40). He went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the Churches (Acts 15:41).
Thought for today: when you follow Jesus, you’re on the righteous path.
Thought for the future: there is only one Saviour with an empty tomb, so follow Jesus for life. Where will you spend your eternity?
