Romans 15:8-13
Christ the Hope of Jews and Gentiles

Today, 04/12/2023, let us, together in the grace of God, rejoice and reflect on the Word of God in Romans 15:8-13.

8 And I say, Jesus Christ has become a minister of circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises of the fathers,

9 and for the nations to glorify God for mercy, even as it has been written, “Because of this I will confess to You in the nations, and I will give praise to Your name.” Psa. 18:49

10 And again He says, “Rejoice, nations, with His people.” Deut. 32:43

11 And again, “Praise the Lord, all the nations, and praise Him all the peoples.” Psa. 117:1

12 And again Isaiah says, “The Root of Jesse shall be, and He rising up to rule the nations; on Him nations will hope.” Isa. 11:10

13 And may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, for you to abound in hope, in power of the Holy Spirit.
