"To the only wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen." Romans 16:27
So we come to the end of the book of Romans, a book in which God's concern for all nations can be read on virtually every page. There is no more appropriate way to end this study than the way Paul ends the book: giving glory to our Lord Jesus Christ. We need to remember why we are concerned about taking the gospel to the nations: in order to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ. All heaven will echo with the praises of people from "every tribe, tongue, and nation." That is why we learn, pray and give every day on behalf of the unreached peoples!
pray: Give glory to Jesus Christ!
"Jews demand miraculous signs and Greeks look for wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God." 1 Corinthians 1:22-24 The Corinthian church had both Jewish and Gentile members. Here Paul illustrates for them how people from both Jewish and Greek cultures often responded to the gospel. Looking for attesting signs to be done by the Messiah, most Jews stumbled on the fact of Jesus' crucifixion. To the wisdom-seeking Greeks, the whole idea of the crucifixion was foolishness. But some from each group saw that Christ is the power and wisdom of God.
pray: Heavenly Father, lead Your missionaries today to those yet unreached people groups, and grant that men and women may see and believe Your power and wisdom in Christ.
