The Advantage of the Jews
READING: Rom. 3:1-20
The Jews were God’s chosen people in the world. God’s selection of the family of Abraham over other families was a great privilege, but also a serious responsibility. Israel had an advantage in knowing God. Unlike the pagans, Israel had been given the oracles of God. God’s word/law was to enable them to become a light to the pagan world. Sadly, Israel failed in this sacred trust. They broke the law. Paul’s conclusion to this point in the letter is that both the pagans and Jews are sinners.
