Paul continues his personal defense of the gospel and his ministry by relating his eventual journey to Jerusalem to meet with Peter, James, and John. Though he had been preaching the gospel and making disciples for 14 years, this is the first time the disciples of Jesus have sat with Paul to discuss the gospel they preach. The conclusion? They are preaching the same exact gospel, though Paul is preaching to Gentiles and they to the Jews. In this encounter, we learn about the freedom the gospel brings to religious and non-religious people, and how that freedom leads to a life of gospel purpose and care for the poor.
