Shepherd Prophet – Romans
9:25-27
Vs 25 – Paul then quotes
Amos, the Shepherd Prophet. “I call them my people who are not my people, I
will call them my loved one who is not my loved one.” God is calling those who are not His own.
Vs 26 – It will happen in the
very place where they were told they were not His people. They will be called the Sons of the Living
God. This is spiritual irony. Jews are rejected and Gentiles are
called. Those who are given the truth
reject it and those who do not have truth, accept it.
Vs 27 – Paul then spends the
next three verses quoting Isaiah. Though
the number of Israelites will be like the sand by the seashore yet only a
remnant will be saved. Quantity does
assure quality. There will always be a
remnant. A small group who will want
more of God.
