Trees #14 - BRANCHES (Part#2 - Grafted Branches)

TREES #14 - BRANCHES (Part#2 - Grafted Branches)

A few months ago we learned that Jesus Christ is referred to as "The Branch" in the Old Testament.  Today we are learning about "Grafted branches" and what that means or symbolizes.

This is Trees#14 focusing on "Grafted Branches" and specifically studying Romans 11:11-24.

You might not know what "grafting" is - it's truly amazing!

Grafting - is a cultivation technique that joins two different types of plant tissues until they completely grow together as one plant/tree.  Example - taking a branch from a Golden Delicious Apple tree and grafting it onto a Red Delicious Apple tree (picture below shows that example).  You might also see advertisements for trees that grow 5 different kinds of fruit.  These are examples of grafted branches into one fruit tree.

Paul wrote the book of Romans and he was a "Gentile".  Remember, we are all one in Christ!

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

Galatians 3:28

This entire Bible study today explains how we become one family or one tree in Christ.

In the verses above we see how God made salvation through Jesus Christ available for both Jews and Gentiles.

Remember that the tribes of Israel were scattered to the ends of the earth (in the near future we will be doing a series on the tribes of Israel) - even all of those tribes, along with the Gentiles have become one in Christ.

Also, remember that the Jews rejected Jesus as the Messiah - it is like they have been broken off from the tree (see the Bible verse below).

 It is important to note that our Heavenly Father is the root who gives us nourishment and sustains us through any type of weather condition. (see verse below)

God Almighty wants all of us to be one in this glorious tree.  God desires for those who rejected Jesus to come back to Him (see verses above)..

It doesn't matter if you come from a "wild tree" or are a "natural branch" - we are all part of the same tree through "grafting" in Jesus Christ.

Old Fashioned Sunday Hymn Sing #128

Welcome to the 128th Old Fashioned Sunday Hymn Sing!

I miss the old hymns that I remember from my childhood - there were no drums, no electric guitar and no mind numbing beat. It was just voices and maybe a piano or an organ. The choir led the congregation in singing - and the words of these hymns are poetic. I realize that there is a need for the modern "seeker oriented" worship music - but it is also necessary to have deeper songs (no offense intended to anyone who prefers the newer church songs).

I decided to have an "Old Fashion Sunday Hymn Sing" once a month on this blog.

I personally do NOT have a great singing voice - I used to play the guitar & piano but my voice is NOT an instrument. That's the great thing about this digital hymn sing, you can warble along without being embarrassed or without offending anyone else.

The hymns that we will be studying are taken from an old hymnal from a Baptist church that is no longer in existence - "The North American Hymnal" published in 1956 by "THE ROGER WILLIAMS PRESS"

I will also try to find a version of the featured hymn on "YouTube" to share with you each month.

Today's featured hymn is "O Perfect Love" written by Dorothy Bloomfield Gurney (1858-1932) & composed by Joseph Barnby (1838-1896).  This author was the daughter of a Minister and a granddaughter of a Bishop.  She originally wrote this song for her sister's wedding but instead it was sung at the Duke of Fife & Princess Louise of Wales wedding.

I have included a video below the lyrics. 

Enjoy!

Turn with me to number 551 in your hymnals and let's sing:

O Perfect Love

written by Dorothy Bloomfield Gurney (1858-1932) 

& composed by Joseph Barnby (1838-1896)

1. O perfect Love, all human thought transcending Lowly we kneel in prayer before Thy throne, That theirs may be the love which knows no ending Whom Thou forevermore dost join in one.

2.   O perfect Life, be Thou their full assurance Of tender charity and steadfast faith, Of patient hope, and quiet, brave endurance, With childlike trust that fears nor pain nor death.

3.   Grant them the joy which brightens earthly sorrow, Grant them the peace which calms all earthly strife;  And to life's day the glorious unknown morrow That dawns upon eternal love and life.

                  

A special thanks to "John Wesley Slider" for sharing this with us!
