Christianity's earliest records of persecution can be found in the book of Acts. There we read of a man named Saul of Tarsus, who led in the persecutions. But when Saul was converted, all of the Christians rejected him, except for a man named Barnabas. Today, Pastor Jeff encourages us to be compassionate as Barnabas was, because when we are compassionate, we are a greater witness of God's Love and Grace.
