Good Tuesday morning. Come join us at Fellowship Cafe. 9-noon. Coffee pot will be on!
“Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; let the sea roar, and all that fills it; let the field exult, and everything in it. Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy before the Lord.” Psalm 96: 11-12 I think the trees are singing for joy with all of their majestic colors. When the sun shines brightly, I can see some oranges, reds and yellows.
Romans 10:1-4
10 Brothers and sisters, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved. 2 I can testify that they have a zeal for God, but it is not enlightened. 3 For, being ignorant of the righteousness that comes from God, and seeking to establish their own, they have not submitted to God’s righteousness. 4 For Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.
In Paul’s view, Israel was ignorant in failing to submit to God’s righteousness, which was the righteousness offered through the faith of Jesus Christ. Jesus is the completion of the goal, not the end as in termination. Remember, Paul is writing to Christians in Rome.
I like his idea of zeal for God. Let’s keep our zeal alive!
Blessings on your day,
Pastor Sue
