Enslaved

"I am free from all," 1 Corinthians 9:19.

Paul, sent out by Christ to preach, owes no man anything: he is free from everyone. But. He made himself a slave to everyone. He enslaved himself to all. Why? because. Because of the Good News of Jesus. Enslaved so as to give up the rights of liberty. Why? so that by becoming a slave to Jews he lives like a Jew. So that becoming a slave to Gentiles he lives like a Gentile. So that to the weak he lives weak. So that he becomes all things to all people. But, Why?? So that by giving up liberty, maybe he will save some and together they will share with him in the blessings of Christ.

We visit with a brother or sister today blessed together in Jesus' run. And together we thank God for the prize he promised at the end of our race.
