Romans 10:21 is a deeply profound and relevant verse. It is profound in the fact that the God of the Universe has his arms open to sinners all day long. In other words, continually for all time God wants to help people find their home in the arms of God. It is relevant today because according to the Surgeon General of the United States we are in an “Epidemic of Loneliness.” People are searching for meaning in a world filled with fear, anxiety, loneliness, political fighting, and social media nastiness. God patiently loving a “disobedient and contrary people” is beautiful. And it is a powerful example to us as Christians, and The Rock as a church.
As we gather this Sunday, let’s gather around the loving arms of God. Let’s sing with great confidence of the God who desires all to come to Him. Let’s hear God’s Word with ears longing to know truth. Let’s remember and celebrate what Jesus has done for us on the cross as we take communion. And let’s gather in fellowship after church for our communion meal at Urban Plates. See you Sunday!
“But of Israel he says, ‘All day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people’” - Romans 10:21
