Romans 11 reminds us of the indescribable riches, majesty and wisdom and knowledge of God.

Romans 11 reminds us of the absolute necessity of bowing to God and bow whether we understand what we're going through or not.

We bow to him in our difficult circumstances, in our joys, and in our sorrows.

We bow to him and to remember that God alone is God and we are not.

That is why the key verse in Romans chapter 11 is verses 33 and 34.

I want you to look with me because if you miss those two verses, you miss the whole chapter. You really do. Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God. How unsearchable his judgment and his path beyond tracing out.

Verse 34, who has known the mind of the Lord?

Who has been his counselor?

And the answer is no one.

You cannot put God in a box.

That you cannot put God in a little system or a small formula.

You cannot put God's plan on a chart and say, this is the way God works.

No.

The Pharisees did exactly this, and when the Messiah showed up, they failed to recognize him, and they wouldn't

believe in him. They missed him completely, and they rejected him. So much so that Jesus said,

in John chapter 5, 39 to 40, he said, you diligently study the scriptures because you think

by them, you possess eternal life. these are the scriptures that testify about me.

And yet you refuse to believe in me. You refuse to come to me and have life.

Among these unfathomable wisdom of God, listen to me, how can he love sinners like me?

How can he die for sinners like me? How can he redeem sinners like me? How can he

forgive sinners like me? How can he work miracles on behalf of his children? How God gives victory to

his children? It's unfathomable. It's inexplicable. I can't explain it, can you?
