In this episode of A Jew and A Gentile Discuss, Carly and Ezra discuss the profound metaphors and analogies of Romans chapter 11 and what this has to do with how Christians relate to Jewish people and respond to the crisis in Israel. They cover:

• What it means biblically to be “grafted in”
• Making Israel jealous for their God
• Reviewing the difference between Israel the Land, the State and the people
• Ezra’s take on the “one new man” of Ephesians 2
• How the “one new man” relates to “grafted in”
• How “grafted in” evokes jealousy in Israel
• Why all of this is so important and matters to the life and faith of Christians

Along the Way

Along the way, they’ll also discuss:

• The importance of not skipping from Romans chapter 8 to chapter 12
• What’s the “therefore” there for?
• Compassion for Israel and for Palestinians
• Who the “natural” and “unnatural” branches of Romans 11 are
• The grafted-in design is more than a clever mashup of religious symbols
• What the “fatness of the olive tree” is
• What it means to carry your faith, Gentile Believers, in a way that makes Israel jealous
• The startling reality of what the crisis in Israel has to do with you as a Christian
• Ask the Lord to give you His heart for His Chosen People
• The game-changer conversation Christians can have with Jewish people
