- Grafting is when you take a tree branch from one kind of tree and connect it to a different tree. We have been grafted into Israel
Questions
(Some read the ?s before the notes/ ask them after.)
- How do election and grace go together, according to vs 5-6?
- If life from the dead in verse 15 is referring to the resurrection, what must happen before the return of Christ? (See also Rom 11:25).
- What should be our attitude to the Jewish people?
Notes
(See Saturday for authors.)
God used the hardening of Israel to bring salvation to the Gentiles, to bring salvation to the Jews (verse, 11, see also Rom 11:31). As Paul says in Rom 11:33, Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out!
