It’s hard to fully appreciate the utter humility and mercy the apostles demonstrated at the Jerusalem Council. Led by the Spirit, they reduced 613 laws to just 3 for the Gentiles to keep. When some within the council protested at how absolutely unfair this was, Peter responded:

Why are you putting God to the test by placing a yoke on the neck of the disciples that neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear?

Much could be said about the gratitude we owe our older brother for such a generous acceptance to the Father’s house. However, much more could be said about how God’s masterful plan to save every nation, through the Seed of one nation, ultimately exalts only One Man. - Grayson Borders, CS Lewis and the Controversy of Zion
