Have you ever thought about why you follow Jesus, and how you got here?
Paul knew exactly how he did. His life was radically changed by a saving encounter with Christ. That encounter gave him a new kind of freedom; not freedom to live for himself, but freedom to serve others.
In this passage, Paul says, “Though I am free from all, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win more of them.”
We live in a world that prizes personal rights, self-expression, and authenticity above all else. But Paul shows us something far deeper: gospel freedom means gladly laying down our rights for the sake of others meeting Jesus.
