THE ROCK
Romans 9:19-33
In our study of Romans, in the middle of Paul's discussion of salvation, he
devotes three chapters to Israel. He's moving along at a secure pace writing
about the security of believers. And then in Romans, Chapter 8, he says, "Re-
gardless of what happens to you or what happens to me, because we are men and
women in Christ Jesus, we will be eternally secure." No matter what, in Jesus
Christ, God promises we're on top of life. But then the question comes, This

cause they were men and women of God. And now you say the church in Jesus
Christ, they have it made because now they, through Christ, are men and women
of God. What happened to all of your promises to the Jews?
And so we have these three chapters-Chapters 9, 10, and 11 -in which Paul,
inspired by the Holy Spirit, has a special word about Israel. In Chapter 9,
he talks about Israel's election. In Chapter 10, he talks about Israel's
rejection. In Chapter 11, he talks about Israel's restoration. Now, under-
stand that and remember it if you are to understand these three chapters in
Romans. Israel was elected: Chapter 9. Israel rejected Jesus Christ: Chapter
10. Israel once again will be received, will be in God's plan when they come
to know Jesus Christ: and that is Chapter 11.
