HEAD
In Romans Chapter 11, we discover more about God's plan for both the Jewish people and the Gentiles. The apostle Paul explains that even though some of the Jewish people did not believe in Jesus, it doesn't mean that God has rejected them. Paul uses the example of the prophet Elijah to show that there are still faithful followers of God among the Jewish people. He tells us that God has a plan to bring both Jews and Gentiles together in faith.
HEART
As we read about God's plan for the Jewish people and the Gentiles, our hearts should be filled with gratitude and awe. We can see that God's love and mercy extend to all people. Just like God was faithful to the Jewish people throughout history, He is also faithful to us. It reminds us that God's plans are perfect, and we can trust Him completely. We can appreciate the diversity of God's family, made up of people from different backgrounds and cultures, all united through faith in Jesus Christ.
HANDS
Knowing that God's love and mercy are for everyone, let's live with open hearts and open hands. We can show love and kindness to people from different backgrounds, treating them with respect and acceptance. Let's also pray for the salvation of the Jewish people, that they may come to know Jesus as their Savior. We can actively participate in God's mission by sharing the Good News of Jesus with others, including our Jewish friends and neighbors. By doing so, we become ambassadors of reconciliation and love, reflecting God's heart to the world.
Prayer: Dear God, thank You for Your plan to bring all people together in faith through Jesus Christ. Help us to appreciate the diversity of Your family and treat others with love and respect. We pray for the salvation of the Jewish people, that they may come to know Jesus as their Messiah. Guide us as we share the Good News with others, that Your kingdom may grow. In Jesus' name, amen.
