“Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:”
Romans 11:20 KJV
Paul is explaining that the children of Israel were removed from being privileged with God. Yes, that’s true. They were removed because of their unbelief. But remember this: we, the non-Jews are only attached by our faith. So let’s not be presumptuous, but stand in awe and reverence. The non-Jews are grateful for the Jewish roots of our faith. Our Messiah is Jewish and the Scriptures we read were given to the beloved Jewish people. We feast on the New Covenant riches that have been handed down to us through the “olive tree” of Judaism. Let’s be humbled by the magnitude of God’s kindness in including us in His Kingdom which is eternal, along with the Jews who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ - and this is simply by faith. Amen!
