A GRAFTED BRANCH

A GRAFTED BRANCH Romans 11:17 http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=Romans+11:17Dear Father, king of banquets,Like that unknown hearer of Jesus long ago, I say, "How blessed itwill be to eat bread in the kingdom of God."Please, Lord, don't let me be like those who were invited to themarriage feast honoring the king's son but who scorned it in favorof business deals and family matters. They were left out while theking filled his house with those from the highways and countrylanes. Your ancient people, Israel, rejected your invitation, andwe non-Jews have filled your halls of festivity and salvation. But,Lord, we are unnatural branches, grafted in. Let none of us becomeproud. Rather, let every one of us stand in awe of your severitytoward those who reject your Son and your mercy toward those whoaccept him.May I continue in your kindness, lest I be cut off. And may yourancient people repent and accept their Messiah, for this would belife from the dead!In the name of Jesus, the true Messiah of Israel, I pray. Amen.
