Depths

Sunday morning we began a study through the Bible book of Romans.  I have been spending a lot of time reading, studying, meditating and praying for understanding about this book.  We know Paul wrote this book to Jews and Gentiles in Rome a long time ago.  They were having harsh disagreements with one another.  It seems the Jew couldn’t help himself from accepting, and passing judgment on Gentile Christians. 

Paul really lowered the boom on the Jews in verse 1 of chapter 2: “…because you, the judge, are doing the very same things.”  How easy to pick the fault of others a part.  A commentary I really like, Wiersbe is the dude who writes it, had this to say; “We hate our own faults, especially when we see them in others.” 

Tough words to hear, huh?  I have heard that the things that bug us the most about other people are the very things we do.  Think about what bugs you the most about others, do you do that?
