It took me 20 minutes to read this section, and it is one of the most complicated passages that Paul penned. I think one of the problem modern Christians have with this passage is that we look too much at the details and not at the big picture when it comes to Israel. I’m not going to start in on that, because I’m still working it out in my mind. But the very last part of chapter 11 gives a picture of God’s sovereign power:
“Everything comes from him,
Everything happens through him,
Everything ends up in him,
Always glory! Always praise!”
In his loving kindness and mercy God is at work in everything, in every way to bring about what is good for us, but more importantly, what brings glory to his greatness and power.
