Lord, That's True | Cozy Afternoon Walk: Romans (S1), Ep.32

Welcome to Cozy Afternoon Walk — a short pause in your day to sit with Scripture, one verse at a time.Today's passage: Romans 9:30-33"What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith; but the people of Israel, who pursued the law as the way of righteousness, have not attained their goal. Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but as if it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone. As it is written: 'See, I lay in Zion a stone that causes people to stumble and a rock that makes them fall, and the one who believes in him will never be put to shame.'" (NIV)A woman with no claim to the table hears what sounds like a door slamming shut — and answers with three words that change everything. Today we sit with Paul's strange verdict: the ones chasing righteousness the hardest missed it, while an outsider who asked for nothing more than a crumb was lifted onto solid ground. It's the story of a single stone that either breaks you or holds you, depending on how you come to it. If you've ever felt like you had to prove you belong before you could receive anything, this one's for you.This episode is part of our season through Romans.
