How can we learn to love those whom we struggle to like?

Paul, Barnabus & Mark (Acts 15.36-41) 

• Mark has lost Paul’s trust (38)
• Paul is not angry, he thinks inviting Mark is unwise (38)
• Paul does not object to Barnabus traveling with Mark (39-40)
• Neither Paul nor Barnabus is clearly in the wrong 

What doesn’t the gospel require of Paul?

• To put himself at risk against his better judgment
• Uniformity

What does the gospel require of Paul in this situation? 

• Forgiveness (Mt. 18.21-22, 77x)
• Love (1 Cor. 13)
• Unity & Partnership in Christ (Jn. 17)
