IV.
Let’s take time today and tomorrow to read through this passage a couple of times and I’ll suggest four things for you to look for. It would be good to make some notes as you read the Scripture. Maybe you want to make four columns on a sheet of paper or maybe it works better for you to divide the sheet into four boxes and make notes. Others of you might be accustomed to making such notes using different colored pens or pencils or highlighters.

V.
First, pay attention to how God seeks to bring redemption to the people.

Second, notice what the people do to move towards God’s redemptive actions.

Third, notice the ways in which the people are moving away from God’s efforts at redemption.

Fourth, what do see as God’s response to their moving away from his coming to them in redemptive love?

VI.
Let’s spend some time looking through those lenses at this passage.

What do you notice?
