March 4, 2025 – A Pipeline of Blessings
Romans 11:11-12
Sermon: 2070 Is God Through With the Jews?, Part 2
Pray Over This
“I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? Certainly not! But through their fall, to provoke them to jealousy, salvation has come to the Gentiles. Now if their fall is riches for the world, and their failure riches for the Gentiles, how much more their fullness!”
Romans 11:11-12
Ponder This
One purpose of God’s salvation of Gentiles is to draw those of Jewish lineage to Him. As a Jew, Paul became the apostle to the Gentiles, and you and I have been blessed by the mysterious plan of God. But God says that blessing came about in a strange way—the Jews turned from the Gospel and the Gentiles were blessed.
Israel was not to be just a reservoir into which God poured His blessings, but the pipeline through which God dispersed His blessings. God said to Abraham, “Abraham, through you all the nations of the world shall be blessed” (Genesis 12:3, author’s paraphrase). God says, in effect, “If I have prophesied that the Gentiles would be saved”—and they have been saved—“how much more, then, will I keep My Word to Israel and bring them back to Me?”
God keeps His promises. He is not done in His work of redemption. We are called to live out His Great Commission to the Jew and the Gentile.
- Who can you share the Gospel with? How are you taking steps toward that?
- How has your life been affected by God’s plant of redemption?
Practice This
Pray for the unbelievers you know. Ask God to equip you and give you opportunities to share about Him with others.
