More Adventures in Jerusalem Paul keeps going with the backstory
stuff. Fourteen years after he first visited the church in
Jerusalem, God tells him to head back there again. This time he
takes his pals, Barnabas and Titus, with him. Gotta have the
entourage. Basically, Paul is coming to get their support for
his mission to the Gentiles. He's been all around the eastern half
of the Roman Empire telling everyone that Gentile converts don't
need to follow every single Jewish law. Maybe one or two, but not
all 613 for sure. It's important to note that Paul doesn't want
their approval. He already knows his message is a-okay by God. He
just needs to know they won't interfere with the work he's trying
to do. The leaders in Jerusalem are pretty much on board. No one
says anything about Titus—who's Greek and not circumcised—so things
are going pretty smoothly. So as long as Titus keeps it in his
pants, things are gonna be fine. That is, until some naysayers
sneak into the mix. But Paul stays strong and eventually the
leaders of the church—including James, Cephas, and John—side with
him. They recognize all the grace that God has given him as the
apostle to the Gentiles and send Paul on his way. Now he and
Barnabas are in charge of spreading God's word to the Gentiles. The
folks in Jerusalem will work on getting the Jews on board.
Look, Paul might be a Jew by birth, but he knows that simply
obeying Jewish law can never make a person right with God. Only
having faith in Jesus can do that. If a Christian is faithful, but
he still has foreskin and enjoys a ham sandwich every once in a
while, well, God still thinks he's aces. After all, God sent Jesus
to earth to die. If the law alone could make us besties with God,
then what the heck did Jesus go through that whole crucifixion
thing for?
