Why did Paul's foundation end up benefiting Gentiles more than Jews?
The foundation was laid for Jew and Gentile alike, but it benefited Gentiles more because the Jews rejected it. The apostle of the Gentiles wrote to the Gentile church that he had laid Jesus Christ, Jesus of Nazareth, as that foundation.
Les explains that the foundation this man claims to be laying was for the benefit not just of Israel, but of Jew and Gentile alike. However, it would end up primarily for the Gentile, because the Jew is going to reject it. Les reminds us not to lose sight that this man claims in Romans 11:13 to be the apostle of the Gentiles, and to this Gentile church he writes, “I have laid the foundation,” and that foundation is Jesus Christ, yes, Jesus of Nazareth.
