Teaching Points The Riches of God's GraceGod's grace is abundantly available to all, both Jews and Gentiles. The trespass of Israel opened the door for the Gentiles to experience the riches of God's grace. The Mystery of God's Plan God's plan is often beyond human understanding, yet it is perfect. The inclusion of the Gentiles was part of His divine strategy to bring about greater blessings. The Role of Jealousy in Salvation Israel's jealousy over the Gentiles receiving God's blessings serves as a catalyst for their eventual return to God. This teaches us about God's redemptive use of human emotions. The Future Fullness of Israel The future restoration and fullness of Israel will bring even greater blessings to the world, highlighting the importance of Israel in God's redemptive history. Unity in Diversity The church is a diverse body of believers, united in Christ. This unity reflects God's inclusive plan and calls us to embrace diversity within the body of Christ.(12) And if the fall of the Jews had such good results, much more might be expected from their reinstatement. Diminishing . . . fulness.--It is, perhaps, difficult to suggest a better translation. The Apostle seems to have in view not only the supersession of the Jews by the Gentiles, but also, under the figure of a defeat in battle, the reduction of their numbers to a small remnant. And, on the other hand, he looks forward to their full and complete restoration, when every Jew shall be a member of the Messianic kingdom, and there shall not be one missing. The full "complement," as it were, of the nation is what is meant by "fulness;" its temporary reduction and degradation is expressed by "diminishing."
