11) Acts 1-7: The Extension of Mercy to Israel

In this powerful exploration of God's mercy, we delve into the profound moment when Jesus, hanging on the cross, uttered the words 'Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.' This plea for forgiveness wasn't just a display of Christ's compassion, but a strategic move in God's plan for Israel. We discover how this request invoked a legal technicality in the Mosaic Law, distinguishing between murder and manslaughter. This 'loophole' granted Israel a one-year extension of mercy after Christ's crucifixion, as seen in the early chapters of Acts. The parable of the fig tree in Luke 13 beautifully illustrates this extension, showing God's patience and desire for Israel's repentance.
