Looking through the cross

Monday July 30th, Genesis 18: 32 Finally, Abraham said, "Please don't get angry, LORD, if I speak just once more. Suppose you find only ten good people there." "For the sake of ten good people," the LORD told him, "I still won't destroy the city." We have a hard time fathoming the depth of God’s grace. As the story goes, it was not even ten. What was happening was Abrahams growing awareness of just how gracious God was. Was it God that destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah or was it that God allowed Sodom and Gomorrah to destroy themselves? Truth be told, we will never know for sure. As we read the stories of old through the lens of the cross, even this looks to me as if it could be a story of grace.
