We cannot read the overarching story of Scripture without seeing God’s ongoing desire for us to know Him. Every step we take away from Him is followed by His taking multiple steps toward us as He relentlessly chases us down to restore us back to Him. Prophet after prophet was sent to warn the people of their sin and call on them to repent. Time and time again. No matter how rebellious the people were – how blatantly they sinned against God through idolatry – God continued to reach out to them.

• How does God’s persistence in not giving up on us motivate us to share Jesus with those who need Him?
