This can be a tricky passage in understanding God’s heart when it comes to salvation for gentiles (of which I am one) and Israel. For tricky passages, I often go to Enduring Word Commentary!
There have been many times I’ve been confused about something in Scripture or something I’ve experienced in life that didn’t seem to line up with what I thought about God. And God, in His goodness, is so faithful to show Himself to me as I seek Him.
Because even when I might not fully understand God – and I don’t – that doesn’t make Him contradictory or wrong.
It just means we serve a God who is SO much greater than us who actually wants to be found by us.
“Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!”
