Text: Romans 11:7-10.
In today's text, the Apostle Paul comes back to the concept of divine reprobation or God's rejection of a people by highlighting a key reason why Israel and ultimately why anyone rejects the Gospel message: they are blinded. Who blinded them? What are they blinded to? And how were they blinded? These are some of the questions we will consider today from three different scriptural perspectives: 1) Paul's, 2) the Law and the Prophets' and, 3) the King of Israel's.
