Our walk through the wilderness of this world can be difficult and exasperating. Many, trying to cope with that reality, do so by lowering their goals and expectations. But Christians ought to rightly know that such a solution doesn’t really solve the problem. Christ places on us high expectations, even when he knows that we will fail. Therefore, Paul seeks to encourage both the Romans, and us, in the difficult tasks laid down in the letter. He does this by showing us his own mind and heart in Romans 15:14-21.
