Our reading challenge for the day is Romans 11-16. I’ll hit a few highlights. You make comments too and fill in the gaps. What strikes you as specially significant?
Romans 11 - All Christians are grafted in to Christ. Gentiles in part serve to call Jews to repentance and faith.
Romans 12 - Verse 21 sums up the chapter. “D not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good” (ESV). This is not our natural inclination but it is God’s nature.
Romans 13 - Orderly societies are governed. We may well object to some of the governance we face. We respond by striving to do good in our society and using the means available to us to live out chapter 12 verse 21.
14.1-15.13 - In all the freedom Jesus as given us, we act for the good of our neighbor. In all this Jesus shows himself to be the one who loved us enough to give his life for us.
15.14-16.27 - Paul tells the Romans of his plans and sends his greetings to them.
