God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
If Christ loved the weak believer to the extent of laying down his life for his salvation, how alien to the demands of this love is the refusal on the part of the strong to forego the use of a certain article of food [or anything else] when the religious interests of the one for whom Christ died are thereby imperiled! It is the contrast between what the extreme sacrifice of Christ exemplified and the paltry demand devolving upon us that accentuates the meanness of our attitude when we discard the interests of a weak brother. And since the death of Christ as the price of redemption for all believers is the bond uniting them in fellowship, how contradictory is any behavior that is not patterned after the love which Christ’s death exhibited!
'You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will last.' Jesus reminds His chosen ones that they have been specifically called and appointed to bear fruit that brings lasting impact, assuring them of their purpose and significance.
