“And the children of Israel said unto the LORD, We have sinned: do thou unto us whatsoever seemeth good unto thee; deliver us only, we pray thee, this day. And they put away the strange gods from among them, and served the LORD: and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel.”
Judges 10:15-16 KJV
The Israelites continued to plead with Yahweh, “Rescue us! We know we are guilty. You can do to us whatever seems good to you, but please, come to our rescue!” So they threw away the false gods from among them and returned to worshipping Yahweh. At last, Yahweh felt Israel’s misery and could bear it no longer. At that time Yahweh had chosen Israel to reveal Himself but now at the right time, God loved the world, all mankind, every human being - He gave His only, unique Son as a gift. So now everyone who believes in Him will never perish but experience everlasting life. Christ is the only way to be sin-free and becoming one with God Himself. It starts with seeking the mercy of God and receiving forgiveness. Repentance is so important for us to walk in the freedom of forgiveness and coming into the favour of God for our lives. This is what the Israelites learned that it is better to throw yourself upon the mercy of God than to be subject to the cruelty of men. Thank You Jesus for including all humanity through the finished work of the Cross to receive forgiveness. Amen!
