God's Exceptional Choice Out of Slavery - Into Nationhood Who Is King Live in the light of God (Isaiah 2:5) Romans 11:13-14 The Voice13 But I have this to say to all of you who are not ethnic Jews: I am God's emissary[a] to you, and I honor this call by focusing on what God is doing with and through you. 14 I do this so that somehow my own blood brothers and sisters will be made jealous; and that, I trust, will bring some to salvation. For Reflection
I have used the The Voice because this interpretation suggests something new. The New International Version and The Message speak of the gentiles as outsiders. The Voice, however, suggests that God is already working through them. Doesn't that make one think that the differences between insiders and outsiders might be a human observation? PrayPray, meditate about who you think might be outsiders, and question why you feel that way.
