Book of Romans Chapter Nine.
Chapter nine provides an intimate perspective of Paul's burden for souls, and in particular, the Jewish people. In actuality, Paul's expressed burden is a reflection of God's burden for Israel. It is a burden that Paul carried with him his entire life as a believer. His example is more than a story-line... it is in essence: contagious and appropriate.
For one to follow the Lord Jesus Christ as did the apostle Paul, is to carry the very intent of the cross of Christ... the salvation of sinners for the glory of God.
I. The Burden Expressed - vs.1-3
A Burden That Is Honest - vs.1 ...I say the truth in Christ...
A Burden Of The Heart - vs.2 ...sorrow in my heart...

Book of Romans Chapter Nine continued
I. The Burden Expounded - vs.6-33
God choice was the result of grace... not man's ability.
Note verse 11 and how God chose Jacob before his birth.
