When our preferences have become more important to us than the people for whom Christ died, we have made idols out of our opinions. In these verses, Paul shows us that you can be strong and wrong. If practising our Christian liberty places a roadblock in the path of another believer, we need to realise that we are tripping up someone for whom Christ died. However, laying down our Christian liberties for their benefit is a small sacrifice in light of the sacrifice that Jesus made on their behalf.
