I’m loving this study of Romans. But we have come to the juncture where, as Gunn says, we are faced with the distinction between “head” and “heart”. It’s the difference in “I know the words to say, so I’m conversant about the Bible among those in the know ,” and “I have had an experience with the Lord Jesus Christ working in my daily life so profound that I am sure there is a God and certain that only His begotten Son could have saved my life. Let me tell you how I know or th what happened….”. (I could do that right now but it would take two books and a month of Sundays…so I’ll spare you for now.). But part of Paul’s credibility and charm is just that: He shared the hour he first believed first….everything else is to include the world in his profound discovery of Christ. I used to pray over 6 year olds for years. Ripe little want-to-believers who are just willing to know Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. Sometimes, God even let older siblings, parents, even grandparents who had never accepted Him as their Lord and Savior into the mix and they, too, led by the hand of a little child, came to know the Christ. So this week, I’ve skimped on the verse a little, but dipped heavily into my prayer vat because somewhere, either at this church or somewhere, is that one person who needs me to lift their soul to Christ so they can hear and find the hour they first believed, too. Take them to the stone where the girl sat, weeping, because she lost her best friend – he was gone – only to discover momentarily He was standing right behind her the entire time and heard everything her heart felt.
I’ll be praying with you Sunday @ 7:30.🤟
It has taken me a lot of roads today to get from “teach them to observe all things that I have commanded you” to “[call] on the name of the Lord and be saved.”. But even though I won’t be physically present, I am with you in spirit, saying , “Give ear, O Lord to my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications. “For you, Lord, are good , and ready to forgive, and abundant in mercy to all those who call upon you” so that “The Lord will record, when He registers His people’s: ‘This one was born there. Selah.”. Have a blessed and restful Súnday in Jesus name. Amen
