ACCEPT ONE ANOTHER AS CHRIST ACCEPTED YOU
Key verse: 7
NIV
7 Accept one another,(A) then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God. 8 For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the Jews[a](B) on behalf of God’s truth, so that the promises(C) made to the patriarchs might be confirmed 9 and, moreover, that the Gentiles(D) might glorify God(E) for his mercy. As it is written:
10 Again, it says,
11 And again,
12 And again, Isaiah says,
“The Root of Jesse(I) will spring up,
one who will arise to rule over the nations;
in him the Gentiles will hope.”[e](J)
13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace(K) as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.(L)

7 Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.
Christ the Hope of Jews and Gentiles
8 For I tell you that Christ (A)became a servant to the circumcised to show God's truthfulness, in order (B)to confirm the promises given to the patriarchs, 9 and in order (C)that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written,
(D)“Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles,
and sing to your name.”
10 And again it is said,
(E)“Rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people.”
11 And again,
(F)“Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles,
and let all the peoples extol him.”
12 And again Isaiah says,
(G)(H)“The root of Jesse will come,
even he who arises to rule the Gentiles;
(I)in him will the Gentiles hope.”
13 May the God of hope fill you with all (J)joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.

1. Christ became a servant of the Jews (7-8)
Jesus, born a Jew, served God's purpose for the Jews. The Jews rejected God's purpose for themselves when they rejected Jesus and rejected world mission to the Gentiles. But when Jesus died and rose again for the sins of the whole world, he fulfilled God's promise to Abraham- 'through your offspring all nations will be blessed.' We must take this good news to all the world so that all the people of the world may glorify God through Jesus. Christ accepted and forgave sinners, so we must accept one another-including those whose culture and/or race is different.
2. So that the Gentiles may glorify God (9-12)
God promised through the prophets that someday the Gentiles would glorify God. He raised up his people to be a priestly nation, to bring all people to God. In Isaiah he promised that the people of all nations would hope in the Messiah.
Prayer: Lord, you are the hope of all the people of the world. I trust you and put my hope in you. Use me to share your gospel with the people of the world.
One Word: Jesus accepts us all
