God's Exceptional Choice God alls Abraham's Family Jacob Called Israel Live in the light of God (Isaiah 2:5)
Romans 11:25-32 The Voice25 My brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be in the dark about this mystery—I am going to let you in on the plan so that you will not think too highly of yourselves. A part of Israel has been hardened to the good news until the full number of those outside the Jewish family have entered in. 26 This is the way that all of Israel will be saved. As it was written, so it also stands: The Deliverer will come from Zion; He will drive away wickedness from Jacob. 27 And this is My covenant promise to them, on the day when I take away their sins.[a] 28 It may seem strange. When it comes to the work of the gospel, the fact that they oppose it is actually for your benefit. But when you factor in God’s election, they are truly loved because they descended from faithful forefathers. 29 You see, when God gives a grace gift and issues a call to a people, He does not change His mind and take it back. 30 There was a time when you outsiders were disobedient to God and at odds with His purpose, but now you have experienced mercy as a result of their disobedience. 31 In the same way, their disobedience now will make a way for them to receive mercy as a result of the mercy shown to you. 32 For God has assigned all of us together—Jews and non-Jews, insiders and outsiders—to disobedience so He can show His mercy to all. For Reflection
Those who are disobedient, unbelievers will eventually by the mercy of God, join others in good standing. Measure your faith by the value of God's mercy to you. Let God fulfill God's mission and keep your peace. All will be resolved in God's good time. PrayPray and be content with what you have been given. Trust in the Lord's way.
