Theme : “ The Church, Body of Jesus Christ ”
Text : Romans 11:28-32
28. As far as the gospel is concerned, they are enemies because of you; but as far as election is concerned, they are loved because of their fathers. 29. For God does not repent of his gifts and calling. 30. Just as you once disobeyed God and by their disobedience you have now obtained mercy, 31. so they have now disobeyed, so that through the mercy shown to you they may also obtain mercy. 32. For God has confined all men in disobedience, to show mercy to all.
Let's remember:
The Church, body of Jesus Christ is made up of several peoples scattered throughout the world. The Lord had reserved the right to love the people of Israel according to his will. It was by election that God made this choice, there was no merit in this choice. But the people of Israel made infidelities to their God to the point of abandoning their ways in favor of idols. Despite God's warnings, the people remained resistant to his guidance and kept their stiff blow. God thus resolved to invite to Him the pagan peoples, strangers to the Covenant of the promise. Now, thanks to the rebellion of Israel, the body of Christ has grown. Israel's rebellion opened the door to the Gentiles. God opened the door of his heart to the Nations so that the whole world had access to his promises; thus becoming his body. This is why the body of Christ is made up of all nations but also of all Christians (peoples and nations). All peoples have the same legitimacy as Israel. Excellent Friday and good start into the weekend. Amen Alain Louz.-
