God's rhetorical questioning is meant as soft interrogation, allowing the nation of Israel to come to their senses regarding God's ability to save. Throughout scripture, we see a pleading Father addressing His children with a sorrowful heart. His one and only desire is for reconciliation through the redemption of His Son, Jesus Christ.There are many today who have similar deist beliefs. They see God as way out there in the Universe somewhere with little concern about the affairs of mankind. However, either God is a liar or He speaks words of sober truth when He states His desire is to come to our aid. The greatest expression of love–putting His action to words–was sending the Son to earth to redeem us. How much more could a loving God do to show us His nearness?
