I went up because of a revelation and set before them (though privately before those who seemed influential) the gospel that I proclaim among the Gentiles, in order to make sure I was not running or had not run in vain. But even Titus, who was with me, was not forced to be circumcised, though he was a Greek. Yet because of false brothers secretly brought in—who slipped in to spy out our freedom that we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might bring us into slavery—to them we did not yield in submission even for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel might be preserved for you. And from those who seemed to be influential (what they were makes no difference to me; God shows no partiality)—those, I say, who seemed influential added nothing to me. On the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been entrusted with the gospel to the circumcised (for he who worked through Peter for his apostolic ministry to the circumcised worked also through me for mine to the Gentiles), and when James and Cephas and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given to me, they gave the right hand of fellowship to Barnabas and me, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised. Only, they asked us to remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to do. (ESV)---In “Entrusted” on Galatians 2:1–10, Jed Gillis traces Paul’s trip to Jerusalem with Barnabas and Titus to confirm that the one gospel of grace welcomes Gentiles without adding law-keeping. Titus was not forced to be circumcised, showing that salvation is through Christ alone. Paul resisted “false brothers” who tried to trade gospel freedom for rules that lead to slavery. Truth comes before a shallow version of unity, yet real unity grows wherever the true gospel is kept. James, Peter, and John recognized the grace at work in Paul and gave fellowship, affirming one message preached in different contexts. The fruit of that grace is generosity, seen in the call to “remember the poor,” which Paul was eager to do. The sermon urges you to rest in Christ, refuse any “Jesus plus” message, and let grace shape both your confidence before God and your love for others.---Berean Bible Church is a non-denominational church in East Knoxville, TN.
