Romans 9:30-10:21.  God planted a foundation stone dead center in Zion. His name is Jesus.  All the LORD asks of anyone is that he believe in him.  The Gentiles had not pursued righteousness by means of following the Old Testament law. But when they heard the gospel, many turn to Christ, and believed in him. But Israel pursued the law. Most never found faith in Christ.  They therefore never found faith or righteousness. Christ is Lord of all nations. There is no distinction. He is the one way. Those seeking another way will never find it.

LORD, our heart’s desire and prayer for our lost brothers and sisters is that they find Christ, the stumbling stone, and put their faith in him.
