Notes

Missed point from last weeks discussion on Weak/Strong. The idea of ch. 13 concerning the believers response to government authority. This was primarily aimed at the Jewish listener who leaned towards a zealousness and a resistance to authority and paying taxes. The weak of Rome were tempted by this zealous option under a heavy tax burden.

Christoformity expresses itself through a God orientation...a Body of Christ orientation, and a Public orientation.

Questions

1. Christ calls us to be like him and step down from our place of privilage and power and enter into a messy story. What would this look like in your life?
2. Why is being a living sacrifice so much harder than offering a costly animal for sacrifice?
