Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.
God is full of grace. The Israelites in no way lived the kind of life God wanted them to live. They did not practice holiness, they were not a light to the Gentiles, they worshiped other gods, etc. They were supposed to be different, special; they were supposed to honor the relationship that existed between them and God. But they did not. However, that did not stop God from showing them grace and love. God restored the Israelites to the Promised Land. He forgave them of their sins and allowed them to return to the land he chose for them. The return from the Exile is grace in action: God's grace and love, forgiving the Israelites for all they had done. God does the same for us. Through Jesus God has shown us grace and love. Through Jesus, we are forgiven of all of our sins. Through Jesus we see God's grace, just as Israel saw God's grace in their return to the Promised Land. God bless you.
