For the sake of the gospel

For the Sake of the Gospel – 1 Cor 9:22-23

Vs 22 – To the weak Paul would become weak.  He became all things to all people that he might win a few.  Paul ‘s role model was Jesus Himself.  Jesus was at home with the prince and the pauper.  He could walk among prophets, priest and king with ease and friendship.  Jesus ministered in love to all who came to Him.   Paul tried to do the same thing.  

Vs 23 – Paul had two things in mind with this approach.  First, all he does is the sake of the gospel.  The gospel had given him a new lease on life.  When Jesus met him Paul saw the full grace and love of God.  He wanted to return the favor.  Secondly, He wanted all who he came across to share in the benefits that he had received.  Paul would state later in this book that what he had received he would pass unto them.  Paul wanted his readers to share in all the blessings he had received.  Walk today in the blessings of Christ and when ever you can be willing to share them with others.
