Let's get one things straight - God is not a sinner. He is not a transgressor of the Law. However, what this video attempts to show, is that the PURPOSE of the Law of God is an outpouring of His love, not a limitation on it. When we interpret the Law of God as some sort of hindrance on God's love, we're making the same mistake the Pharisees made.

In the same way that working on the Sabbath is unlawful, but Jesus healing on the Sabbath is good and right, God's display of love that we'll review in this week's episode does not ACTUALLY show that God did an evil or sinful thing, it shows that He fulfilled the greater purpose of the Law when it clashed with the keeping of the letter of it.

Deuteronomy 24 issues rules regarding divorce and remarriage for Israel but, later, after God issues His covenant people a certificate of divorce, He desires them back which, according to this portion of the Law, is an abomination.

God's display of love here and His desire for His wayward bride to return would have been shocking and unfathomable to an ancient people so bent on keeping the letter of the Law that they forgot how transcendent the love of God is.
