Fr. Larry Richards – To Be a Slave to All What did Jesus say he came for? To preach. Interesting b/c that’s what Paul talks about, I must preach the Gospel. Made myself a slave to all. What am I doing to win others to Christ? He’s reading Intentional Disciples by Sherry Weddell. How many go to Church every Sunday with a personal relationship with Christ? I exist to preach the Gospel. Knowing Jesus isn’t about me, but about bringing others to him, and in doing so i know him more intimately. We exist to make disciples of others. Created & call by God to bring others to Him. Paul was preaching… meeting where they are at. Pope Francis is becoming weak for those who are weak. To save them. We need to get that. God was born as a weak baby and became weak and died on the cross for us, Jesus became a slave to save us, we need to be like Jesus and become a slave to others to save them. Will it be easy? No it will kill you! That’s the point. What are you doing to bring others to Jesus? It better be something, if it’s nothing, think about what He is calling you to do.
