Dr. Sam Nadler，成長於正統派猶太教家庭，但卻因著大屠殺歷史而不相信神。後來因著有外邦基督徒將福音傳給他並帶他參加查經班，他最終遇見神，相信耶穌是彌賽亞。他是「彌賽亞之道事工」(Word of Messiah Ministries)的創辦人與總裁，四十多年來委身向猶太同胞傳揚彌賽亞耶穌的福音，建立許多彌賽亞教會，並積極在教會中教導外邦基督徒向猶太人分享福音的聖經命令與重要性。
羅1:16的「先是猶太人」，給外到基督徒哪些重要提醒？Dr. Sam Nadler分享說：
「『先是猶太人』提醒外邦基督徒，神呼召他們要去激起以色列嫉妒的心(羅11:11)，並且要以他們自己所得到的憐憫(羅11:31)來服事以色列。神不允許外邦基督徒認為他們已經取代了以色列(羅11:17-19)；一點都沒有，相反地，外邦基督徒的角色是要提醒以色列神的信實。任何外邦基督徒若降低了將福音帶給猶太人的優先順序，是在扭曲神顯明在祂話語中的信實真理。」
“To the Jew first” was a reminder of their calling to make Israel jealous (Romans 11:11), and to minister to Israel the very mercy they themselves had received (Romans 11:31). God forbid that they should think that they had replaced Israel (see 11:17-19). Not at all, but rather, Gentile believers were to be God’s reminders of His faithfulness to Israel. Any Gentile who diminished the priority of bringing the Good News to the Jew first would be distorting God’s message of faithfulness revealed in His word.
