Paul indicates that even though Israel stumbled, through that stumbling salvation has come to the Gentiles. This leads into the discussion of the "mystery" and Paul's reaching out to those Gentiles. Even though there were instances of the Jews evangelizing such as Jonah, they still to this day do not do much. Dr. Sproul discusses the significance of the Olive Tree to Israel and also the significance of circumcision.
