In this week's passage, we meet Barnabas, who relies on the Holy Spirit and is unleashed to be extraordinarily generous. His generous act of selling a field and donating the money to the ministry of the apostles is contrasted with the greed of a man named Ananias and his wife, Sapphira, who sold a field and kept the money for themselves. This passage shows us that we can choose between greed and generosity, and that we need to rely upon the Holy Spirit in order to make the right choice.
