71. Romans 15v1-7 - Following the Example of Jesus - 1 September 2024
Romans 15v1-7 ESV
1 We who are strong have an obligation to bear with the failings of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
2 Let each of us please his neighbour for his good, to build him up.
3 For Christ did not please himself, but as it is written, “The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on me.”
4 For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
5 May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus,
6 that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
7 Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.
1. Bearing the weakness of others
2. Jesus’ selflessness and sacrifice
Psalm 69
9 For zeal for your house has consumed me, and the reproaches of those who reproach you have fallen on me.
3. Jesus’ endurance and encouragement
4. For the glory of God
