For the Hope of Israel

In this message I want to show you what was uppermost in Paul's mind and heart in terms of his preaching the gospel to the Jews. He wanted to convince them that our Lord Jesus Christ was then, and He is now, the Hope of Israel as he says in verse 24. So 1st of all – I want to speak to you about the Hope of Israel as having been found by some brethren in Italy. (verses 12-14) Then 2nd – The Hope of Israel in chains, as personified by the apostle Paul. (verses 15-20)
