When Israel Comes Home - Caring or Condemning?
By: Dr. Robert Petterson

St. Paul audaciously claims he would go to hell if it could bring about the salvation of his fellow Jews. Jesus did exactly that in six hours on the cross. Charles Spurgeon wrote, “People often ask, ‘Will the heathen who haven’t heard the gospel be saved?’ It’s more a question whether those who have the gospel and fail to give it to those who have not, will be saved.” We will cross the divide when we stop condemning and begin to care for those on the other side.

As Paul writes to the Christians in Rome, he knows that his time on earth is almost up. He has to get to Spain. He is asking them to give their money to help him get there with his gospel while there is still time. Urgency is at the heart of Romans and makes Paul say, “I have unceasing anguish in my heart” for the lost. This is the challenge in Romans nine: Are you willing to go through hell to get others out of hell?
