The character of Barnabas is a beautiful example of what all believers should aspire to be. Barnabas means “son of encouragement” and that’s exactly what Barnabas did. Barnabas would encourage and build up all those around him. Barnabas was not only an encourager but he was a great steward over the resources God blessed him with. When we realize that we’re mere stewards, we begin to use those resources to further His Kingdom rather than our own.
