“Grace is the dimension of divine activity that enables God to confront human indifference and rebellion with an inexhaustible capacity to forgive and to bless.” Does this mean that God would have forgiven the likes of Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Vlad the Impaler, Pol Pot, Saddam Hussein and Ivan the Terrible had they repented of their evil deeds? Surely God’s justice would demand eternal damnation for the rapes, tortures and genocides these men had committed? It is hard enough to imagine the thief on the cross in paradise much less those who have committed such atrocities! And yet if we do not believe that the blood of Christ atones for all types of sins then we as Christians are left in a gloomy pit of despair wondering if our thoughts, words and deeds constitute the “unpardonable sin” that despite our cries “will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come” (Matthew 12:32). The following sermon is going to trace the sins, discipline, repentance and God’s gracious forgiveness of one of the most evilest kings Judah ever had in order to provoke hope in our hearts that God is full of grace and is always willing to forgive those who confess with a repentant, contrite heart!
