One of the great surprises of the Bible is God has always been a God of grace. You see this time and again in the new testament, but the surprise comes when you discover the LORD God of Hosts is a God of grace in the old testament as well. No one expresses this more clearly than Isaiah who goes back and forth throughout his writings with a two-pronged message to Israel to come back to the Lord, While simultaneously, "in spite of all they have done, His hand is still stretched out" waiting for them to come back into a relationship with Him. We do a big chunk of Isaiah chapters 9-11 in this session, and see the Lord's graciousness to Israel throughout.
