“For though I am free from all, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win more of them. To the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews. To those under the law I became as one under the law (though not being myself under the law) that I might win those under the law. To those outside the law I became as one outside the law (not being outside the law of God but under the law of Christ) that I might win those outside the law. To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some. I do it all for the sake of the gospel, that I may share with them in its blessings.”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭9:19-23‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,

This stands out because Paul says, “I do it all for the sake of the gospel, that I may share with them in its blessings.”  Paul wanted to find a commonality with all people so he could could give them the good news of the Gospel. Do we see everyone as a eternal soul that will live forever either in heaven or hell?  What about the person that seems to be the opposite of you politically?  What about the person that seems to embody every pet peeve you have?   Doesn’t God love him as much as he loves you?  Is there a commonality that can be established for God’s purpose?  Please pray that we and our friends see everyone we meet today as a child of God. Please pray for Blake’s group.
