Romans 9:3 captures the anguish of Paul.
His heart for people far from God - his own people - was tremendous.
Paul wrote that he would choose an eternity in Hell
if it would result in his community being saved.
Of course there can only be One Substitute.
But don't miss the heartbeat of Paul:
he was willing to do anything and endure anything to advance the Gospel.
This challenges me.
Am I willing to endure a little bit of Hell now to ensure my community tastes Heaven later?
Do I have Paul's same passion today?
Am I willing to sacrifice all to help rescue all?
