But don’t presume on this gentleness. The moment you become deadwood, it’s game over.

You must try to appreciate both the kindness and the strict justice of God.

And as for the fallen branches, unless they are obstinate in their unbelief, they will be grafted in again. Such a restoration is by no means beyond the power of God. And, in any case, if you who were, so to speak, cuttings from a wild-olive, were grafted in, is it not a far simpler matter for the natural branches to be grafted back onto the parent stem?
