The challenge of today's passage is "receive ye one another". This command means to welcome others in the body of Christ like we do close relatives. Positively accepting their differences and similarities and looking for ways to make them comfortable and to have their needs met before our own. As Gentile believers, we should especially understand this truth from the Scriptures.
1. We have Old Testament Exclamations - v. 9-12
2. We have Christ's Example - v. 7,8
3. We have Paul's Exhortation - v. 13-16
The ministry of Christ was never about Himself and His own needs nor was it about a small chosen few. Christ's love and servant practice extends to all and so should mine.
Walk with the Lord and receive others!!!
