Don’t ever think you could out-argue Paul!! Even in an impressive benediction, he unwaveringly reaffirms his basic premise that both Jewish Christians and Gentile/Greek Christians are part of God’s mysterious plan in Christ. Their stories are interlaced in the prophetic writings of the Old Testament.
Christ’s life, death and resurrection have brought all back into right standing with God. The Christians in Rome, whether Jewish or Gentile/Greek, are blessed to have faith in Christ. The glory belongs to God forever and ever. AMEN.
(This concludes our reading of the Book of Romans. YOU MADE IT THROUGH!! CONGRATULATIONS!! HAPPY DANCE!! See you one more time next Monday for 'After Thoughts & Other Thoughts'.)
