Farmers don't usually graft a wild plant onto a cultivated one, but Paul says that is just what God has done in grafting the wild olive branch of the Gentile world onto the cultivated olive tree of his people Israel (11:11-24). He has done this so that all people everywhere, no matter what earthly family they come from, can become a part of his family.
