While some look to Scripture for positive examples of human behavior, most commonly Scripture shows us the frailty of human will and how God’s grace and mercy works in and through even the worst of circumstances and sin. We are prone to take shortcuts in the journey that God has us on; shortcuts can lead to sin, and sin can lead to sorrow, but ultimately even in the worst of sorrows we are seen by a loving and gracious God, who sent his Son to win us back to him in the end.
