NOTES for Rom 11:13-24
No one knows the Father. But the Lord reveals His Father to us, and not only reveals Him but also makes us His children. At the same time, the Apostle warns us against exalting ourselves above those who have not yet accepted Christ. On the contrary, God's children should be characterized more by His humility and gentleness. The meaning of these words is often distorted. To learn true humility, as we read the Gospel we must gaze upon Christ, who is truly humble and gentle in heart.
