People reject Jesus for many different reasons. Some reasons make sense. Some reasons are surprising. Some reasons are unexpected. The nation of Israel rejected Jesus. The ones who God had been grooming, teaching, and promising the Messiah throughout the Old Testament rejected Jesus. Unexpected. The same is true with people today. Some who we would think have every reason to follow Jesus, reject him.
This Sunday we will explore rejection. Why people reject. How people reject. And what it takes to accept and believe. Romans 9-11 is a new section in the flow of Romans. To understand the whole section, we must understand Paul’s thesis from the beginning of chapter 9. I look forward to digging in together this Sunday!

Theological Word of The Week:
incomprehensible
Not able to be fully understood. As this applies to God, it means that God cannot be understood fully or exhaustively, although we can know true things about God.
