Paul With the Jews at Rome

Last Sunday I spoke to you about the fact that the apostle Paul was bound with a chain for the Hope of Israel. Paul's ministry, whether it was to Jews or Gentiles, was concerning Jesus; Who was, and Who is, the Hope of Israel. He is both the Hope of the spiritual Israel of God, and the Hope of physical ethnic Israel who has never been cast off by God, even though in large measure they rejected Christ as their Messiah when He came to them. And they have still, for the most part, continued to reject Him all the way down through Church history until this very day.
In this chapter Paul spoke with the Jews of Rome, when they came to meet with him. He spoke to them from morning till evening, it says in verse 23. Paul's great concern was to preach the kingdom of God and teach the things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, and to do so with all confidence. This goal was accomplished with these Jews, even though they were so divided among themselves as to whether what Paul said was true. So, here in this message I want to delve into Paul's final written recorded message to them, and have us understand just how Paul ministered to people in this last stage of his ministry.
