Remnant of Israel

Romans 11

It's Friday, and I am getting this time in so I can be more focused in the get together this morning, and this is a powerful chapter.

I will focus on the first section and hence the title.
Clearly as Paul says, I am the elect, the adopted, the remnant, the chosen because I am not of Jewish descent.
I can see why the Israelites have issues since God is "letting" others into his kingdom that is not of his own.
The Israelites (most) have turned away from him and worshiped something else, some to the point of the evil one. Their hearts were hardened.

I should be even more grateful.
