1. “Your parents will always
be dad and mom, and you will always be their child, no matter
how old either may get.”

What Can We Learn About

Our hope is lost,
and we ourselves
are cut off (v.11)

4. A great deal of work must be done before
the broken can be made functional again.
God didn’t just contemplate restoration, He was
determined to make that
Restoration would be a reality (1 Pet. 1:18,19)!
When God restores, He makes man brand new
(2 Cor. 5:15-18).
The means for remaining “new” has also
been provided through that same blood
(1 Jn. 1:7-9)

5. That which has been restored has
once again been made useful for service.
Why did the Father go through the painful process
of restoration if the object was not going to fulfill
a purpose?
2 Peter 3:9 is one answer…
…but Ephesians 2:10 provides another answer…
We were made new in
order to serve

6. Sin broke man and made him appear worthless, but God saw
That which
has been
broken and
deemed
ready for the
trash heap
by man,
can be
restored and
its value once
again realized.
Sin broke man and made him
appear worthless, but God saw
his value and determined that
He would make it possible for
His creation to be restored.
