No One Left Behind - 4/13/2025
Today marks the first day of what is known as Holy Week, as we observed Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem. What fanfare He received, with branches and coats laid down before Him by the Jewish people! This will soon change as Jesus enters His final days; He will be hated by those who welcomed Him with such enthusiasm. The hearts of those He came to redeem will soon reject Him. This might lead one to think that God's plan has failed, but… God has a much bigger plan, not just for His Promised people (the Jews) but for all people. Paul will teach us today that no one will be left behind. God will use the entire Gentile population to help turn the hearts of the Jews who are willing to see the promised Messiah that has saved the Gentile population. Wow, what a fantastic plan God has devised. This should give us great enthusiasm as believers to know and spread the gospel in anticipation of Christ's return, utilizing the armor of God to propel us forward in the call.
