Jesus' teachings turned the world upside down. He told people to
love each other, no matter who they were. That sounds good on the
surface, but it can be extremely challenging to live out in
everyday life. From the very first moment of its existence, the
church struggled with this basic principle. People who had been
enemies for generations were now asked to love each other. Jews
loving Gentiles? Men treating women with respect? Owners honoring
workers? Rich people equal with the poor? Emperial citizens sharing
with barbarians? You've got to be kidding. Sound familiar? After 19
centuries we still struggle with racial, gender, religious, and
class issues. That's where Paul's letters can be helpful. Born a
Roman citizen, trained under the best Jewish Rabbi, and schooled in
Greek culture, Paul learned to become "all things to all men." His
mission was to bridge the gap between cultures and show people how
to follow Jesus' teachings in everyday life. True, he lived in a
different time, and his specific solutions might not fit exactly in
our culture, but the spirit behind Paul's instructions ring true in
our world. This 16-week Bible Study will help you eavesdrop on
conversations between Paul and the people that he loved and led, so
you can glean valuable lessons for how to follow Jesus' teachings
today.
