Main Idea: Do what is necessary
What I learned about God: Jesus conforms into being a man because in doing so, we will be saved
Summary: This is part of Paul's 1st letter to the church in Corinth. Paul first explains how he would rather die than not being able to spread the love of Jesus that he received. He feels it is his duty to share the love that he received from Jesus. He then presents that even though he is free from sin, he puts himself as a servant to God so that he will be able to spread the news of Jesus. He then inputs that if you want to appeal to a certain crowd, you must become like them whether it is becoming poor or becoming outside the law to reach those people in need. Paul then says how we must practice the act of self-control so that we may be training for the moments in which Jesus will give us an opportunity of sharing the good news.
Application: In my life, I see the as I go through mission training, this passage truly put what we did today into perspective. In eating disgusting foods that we as Americans are not used to, we put ourselves into the position that we may use that opportunity to break the ethnic boundary in which we may be able to reach them with the gospel message. Seeing something foreign is much worse than seeing something relative in which they can relate to. We must just break those boundaries in order to praise His name, because without His great love and without his sacrifice, we wouldn't be here with this amazing message of perfect love, sacrifice, and resurrection.
