A Different Gospel -Galatians 2:11-16

If you remember from last week, Paul is telling his storyNow, at the end of his autobiography he mentions Peter (Cephas)– this is the only record of them ever having a personal encounter• as Paul approaches the primary purpose of his letter• he uses this story to illustrate his central point– the leaders of the Church in Jerusalem recognizedthe difference between his ministry and Peter’s“they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been entrusted to the circumcised” (v. 7)• he used those “circumcision” terms to distinguish between Gentiles and Jews, because he wanted to make a point• they all belonged to Jesus, but Jewish believers had an obligation that did not apply to Gentiles◦ circumcision is shorthand for all the laws of Moses
