God reaching out in love to a rebellious people, significant because history does indeed repeat itself. We are just as rebellious today as the Israelite were in their time. We are just as disobedient and rebellious. We need the knowledge that God loves us and want us for Himself in spite of our sinful ways. We knowledge that someone can love us unconditionally. That our faults don’t matter. We loved and accepted for who we are not for perfection.
