God’s Astonishing Wisdom in Reaching the Gentiles

Ken

Who but the LORD could turn Israel’s rejection of the God of Israel into the means for reaching all the nations of the world? “I am sought of them that asked not for Me; I am found of them that sought Me not: I said, Behold Me, behold Me, unto a nation that was not called by My name” (Isaiah 65:1 KJV). When considering the resistance of the modern nation of Israel to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, it is difficult for Christians worldwide to fathom how contemporary Jews can continue their blindness toward Jesus as their Messiah; unless, in the wisdom of God, Jehovah uses their blindness “until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled” (Luke 21:24). In other words, their blindness (Romans 11:25) is our salvation until our completed salvation takes away their blindness. “O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are His judgments, and His ways past finding out!” (Romans 11:33). LORD, how could we be anything but grateful for allowing us to become part of the commonwealth of nations to partake of Your salvation? Forever praise Your name for that privilege! May You grant us success in completing the salvation of the Gentiles that You might complete the salvation of Your beloved Israel. Accomplish all of this in the wonderful name of Jesus. Amen and amen.
