Cornerstone on the Go

Nearly Invisible Part 1

Thomas Cruthis

Romans 16:1-7

At first glance, the first sixteen verses of chapter 16 look like a list of Paul's social media followers. Because of this surface appearance, a list of little-known and hard-to-pronounce names, these verses can be easily skipped or quickly skimmed during our reading or study times. Regarding passages like Romans 16:1-16, we must remember that God has breathed out every word of the Scriptures, and they are helpful for us. As we look at these nearly invisible brothers and sisters in Christ, what visible lessons can we take from their examples and, by following in their footsteps, make a visible impact in the lives of others for God's Kingdom?
