Haiku responding to Rom 11:1-2a, 29-32
Gentiles included
now in God's new covenant;
Hebrews missing out!
Has God rejected
his people? Not at all! I,
Paul am one of them!
I'm an Israelite,
descendant of Abraham,
of Benjamin's tribe!
God does not reject
the people he has long known,
nor withdraw his gifts.
Disobedience
once cut you off from God; now
you've received mercy.
You received mercy
when God's people turned away;
mercy, too, is theirs.
Disobedience
has all people in its thrall;
so too, God's mercy.
