Bible Question: why did john abandoned paul in pamphylia? |
Bible Answer: Acts 15:38: This scripture directly links Paul's refusal to take Mark with them to the fact that Mark departed from them prematurely on their first missionary journey. That still leaves many questions about what Mark's motives were for the departure, but suffice it to say that Paul thought Mark's reasons were inadequate. This reveals an attitude that Paul had towards those in leadership which we would do well to imitate. Paul did not want to spend his time ministering to his own team. He needed only strong, mature help. The weak or wounded should not be put on the front lines for their own sake as well as the sake of the mission. Whatever Mark's problems were, they were resolved so that he went on to become a mighty man of God. There is no reason to believe that Paul was against that. In fact, Paul's treatment of Mark here could have been an inspiration to him to grow up. God Bless |
