Weekly Scripture
Colossians
2:9-11 (KJV) 9 For in him dwelleth all the
fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are complete in
him, which is the head of all principality and power: 11
In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision
made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins
of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:

We are
neither Gentile or Jew but one in Christ being the
grafted-in branches of the olive tree. We are of the
Commonwealth of Israel (Ephesians2:11-22)
Colossians
3:10-11 (KJV) 10 And have put on the new man, which is
renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew,
circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond
nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.
Galatians
3:27-29 (KJV) 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into
Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew
nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither
male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29
And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s
seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Romans
11:14-25 (KJV)
17 And if some of the branches be
broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in
among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of
the olive tree; 18 Boast not against the branches.
But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root
thee. 19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were
broken off, that I might be graffed in. 20 Well;
because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by
faith. Be not highminded, but fear: 21 For if God
spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also
spare not thee. 22 Behold therefore the goodness
and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward
thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness:
otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. 23 And they
also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed
in: for God is able to graff them in again. 24 For
if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by
nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive
tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural
branches, be graffed into their own olive tree? 25
For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of
this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits;
that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the
fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
Isaiah
42:5-8 (KJV) 5 Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the
heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the
earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath
unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:
6 I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and
will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a
covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles; 7
To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from
the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the
prison house. 8 I am the LORD: that is
my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my
praise to graven images.
