Abstract

This paper deals with a narrative analysis on a figure, named Barnabas in the Book of Acts of The Apostle. The story of Barnabas in the Bible cannot be separated with Paul, the famous character in the Early Church, who is known as the Apostle of the nations. Transformation of Barnabas in Acts displays a role model for every Christians until today. Luke in Acts 9 tells the beginning of relationship between Barnabas and Saul, where Barnabas helped Saul from the series of rejections from the disciples of the Lord in Jerusalem. This relationship perfectly developed until they served hand in hand to spread the good news to the nations. As known, Barnabas and Saul have a serious conflict about Mark, the young man, the nephew of Barnabas. Eventually, this dynamic duo of the Early Church separated, where they took their own paths (Acts 15:39). Despite they have a disagreement, there is no hostility between them. From the story of Barnabas, we can learn how to solve so many differences in our missions as the disciples of Jesus.

Abstract

The Christian faith seeks to find meaning and value in the very real suffering that is present in human life. This study intends to find the deeper meaning for suffering than just viewing it as a misfortunate.

The methodology used in this research is, literary study, biblical narrative on Gospel of Mark and Theology of Martyria of the author with his work serving the sick people. The suffering holds a transformative goal for those who endure it and the people around them.

Lewis and the story of demonic man in the Gospel of Mark present a theological perspective on suffering, the believers should not give up in facing of their pain. Finally, the presence of Rumah Teduh Suryo stands as a testimony that faith must be along with concrete action.
