God’s Mercy Is for Everyone
25 I want you to understand this mystery, dear brothers and sisters, so that you will not feel proud about yourselves. Some of the people of Israel have hard hearts, but this will last only until the full number of Gentiles comes to Christ. 26 And so all Israel will be saved. As the Scriptures say,
“The one who rescues will come from Jerusalem, and he will turn Israel away from ungodliness. 27 And this is my covenant with them, that I will take away their sins.”
There is nothing wrong with feeling good about the Good News. What Jesus Christ accomplished for us on the Cross is good. Paul’s warning is that we don’t let that good feeling grow and become a prideful attitude. It is God’s plan for the salvation of the Gentiles. It is God’s covenant that will rescue the Jews from their sins.
It was what Jesus did at Calvary that makes it all possible.! Let us always be humble when we think on this Good News.
PRAYER REQUEST: Please pray for my brother, Henry Dunklin. He will have surgery to remove a tumor that was found on his kidney. They will also remove the kidney. He is currently experiencing a great deal of pain. Pray the pain will be relieved, the surgery will be successful and the biopsy results will be favorable. God is a good God and He is able!
