Explicado para niños

Imagine your friend was scared of dogs but then saw a cute puppy that changed their mind. Barnabas is like a friend who introduces his buddy Saul (who used to be mean to Christians) to other friends, telling them how Saul met Jesus and decided to tell everyone about Him in a big city called Damascus.

Contexto histórico

The book of Acts was written by Luke, around the year 60 AD. It describes early Christian history to a wide audience. The story here takes place shortly after Saul's dramatic conversion from persecutor to preacher, set against the backdrop of Jewish and Gentile relations in Jerusalem and Damascus.

Aplicación para hoy

Just like Barnabas took a chance on Saul despite his past, we can show kindness to others regardless of their history. For example, if someone new joins your school who once was mean but now wants to change, being kind could open doors for them just as it did for Paul.
