Romans: Rooted in Jesus, Doxology
In one of my favorite movies, What about Bob, the psychotic Bob, played by Billy Murray, is extoling the wisdom and skill of his psychiatrist, Dr. Leo Marvin, played by Richard Dreyfuss. In a classic line, Bob says, “We can't be expected to understand him. He is so far above us. We are like ropes on the Goodyear Blimp.”
Likewise, the Apostle Paul ends his teaching on justification by faith through grace with a stunning doxology! He erupts into praise, proclaiming the distance between God and mankind in wisdom, knowledge, judgments, and ways. God does not submit his plans to us for approval, nor has anyone given or done so much for Him that parity is established or a debt created. All things come from, pass through, and return to God! Truly God alone deserves our worship, service, and praise. Join us Sunday as we consider this doxology and declare His glory.
