  The Old Testament is the story of God reaching out in love to a rebellious people. Why is this significant?

  It shows that from the beginning God has reached out and continued to reach out to us. Since the fall, we have been separated from God by sin, but he has continued to live us and offers us redemption.

  We all are rebelious people. To a major or minor degree, we all are full of longings, desires, impulses and expectations rebelious to God’s will. Getting familiar to the Israel people rebellious behaviours is an invaluable help in order to expose and point out our own personal rebellious ways. Also, reflecting on Israel wanderings makes possible we know how to avoid perils and pitfalls of sinful behaviour.

  The story of the rebellious people of Israel is a warning and a helpful example of why not replicating those behaviours and ways of living. Also a proof of the evil inside us since immemorial times and the unvaluable price of God’s provision for our salvation.

  To me, this is significant because it shows a plan for redemption from the beginning.

  God reaches out in love to rebellious people in the past, the present and the future.
