Romans 15:20-21
20 It has always been my ambition to preach the gospel where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else’s foundation.
21 Rather, as it is written:
“Those who were not told about him will see,
and those who have not heard will understand.”
In today’s scripture we read how Paul quotes Isaiah 52:15 when he speaks about his urgency to take the gospel to those who do not know the Messiah. He had such a heart for those who did not know about the Messiah! Paul in this chapter points to a fulfilled prophecy. It was prophesied in Isaiah that even those who were not told about Him will see, and those who have not heard will understand.
Point to ponder
Let us ask the Lord to open the eyes of our hearts to see Him. Let us celebrate God this week for His mercy to bring understanding, even to those who did not hear, and opening the eyes to see – even of those who were not told!
