1 CORINTHIANS 9:19-23
Even though I am a free man with no master, I have become a slave to all people to bring many to Christ. When I was with the Jews, I lived like a Jew to bring the Jews to Christ. When I was with those who follow the Jewish law, I too lived under that law. Even though I am not subject to the law, I did this so I could bring to Christ those who are under the law. When I am with the Gentiles who do not follow the Jewish law, I too live apart from that law so I can bring them to Christ. But I do not ignore the law of God; I obey the law of Christ.
When I am with those who are weak, I share their weakness, for I want to bring the weak to Christ. Yes, I try to find common ground with everyone, doing everything I can to save some. I do everything to spread the Good News and share in its blessings.
Reflect
- What would it look like for you to have that same mindset?
- What would it look like for you to humble yourself enough to take an interest in something that someone else cares about in order to share the gospel with them?
- When a new student comes to Forge and they are on the outskirts of the room, do you move toward them at that moment to make them feel welcomed?
- Can you think of someone who you don’t have common interests with but would be willing to tell them about Jesus?
