Child of Hope

Romans 15:12-13
Again Isaiah says,‘The root of Jesse shall come, the one who rises to rule the Gentiles; in him the Gentiles shall hope.’ May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

The author of Romans believes that Jesus is the root of Jesus. He is from the lineage of King David, son of Jesse. Jesus is the one who opened the faith of the Jews, to the rest of the world, the Gentiles. When God came into the world as a human, all the barriers were broken. The barrier between Jew and Gentile, the barrier between flesh and spirit, the barrier between human and divine--all those barriers were torn down.

I have really enjoyed this video about the amazing birth of Jesus, and the amazing birth of each person in the world. I hope you might enjoy it too. CHILD OF HOPE

Question to ponder:
What would change in your life if the barriers between flesh and spirit disappeared?
