  3. Our God is the one who brings back the exile, who restores the outcast, he is the one who devises means to do so.
  4. Our only hope in life and death is that God loves sinners, who fail and forget constantly, with a love that is just as constant.
  5. God's Son comes to deal with the infestation of sin, but in an unforeseen twist of grace, he’s the only one who goes under the knife.
  6. Make no mistake, sinners are in fact being pursued by a most hideous beast called sin, death, and the devil, unleashed and striking continuously.
  7. The God who abundantly restores is still in the business of total restoration, even today. Even now the God of heaven restores dead sinners to life.
  8. Every part of Jesus’ encounter with Mary Magdalene in John 20 was incredibly intentional and personal for God to systematically redeem what was lost.
  9. Hamilton writes lucidly. He has that rare gift of walking the tightrope between the academy and the church, being able to communicate to both groups in the same book.
  10. The Messiah is exiled from God on the cross as Israel was. Forsaken as Israel was forsaken. Cast away from Yahweh as Israel was. Why?
  11. The Word of the Lord is sure. The enemy is defeated. Salvation is waiting for you.
  12. God is often hidden in history, even as we make it now, but He is always manifest where He has promised to be.
