Commentary on Acts 9:27
When Saul came to Jerusalem, disciples feared him, not believing his conversion. Barnabas ('son of encouragement') took Saul and brought him to the apostles, declaring 'how he had seen the Lord in the way' and 'how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.' Barnabas's advocacy was crucial - vouching for Saul's genuine conversion and ministry. Reformed theology sees God's providence in raising up advocates when needed. Barnabas's willingness to risk his reputation for Saul enabled Paul's acceptance by the Jerusalem church.
