The theme of \"return from exile\" is huge in Scripture, and it was still a big issue at the time of Jesus, even though the exile of Israel had supposedly ended after 70 years. Through Jesus, God wants to bring people from every nation \"home\" to be with him. He is in the business of bringing back the exiles who have been alienated from him because of their disobedience. If you trust in Jesus, your exile is over! Will you then help create a place for other exiles to return to and belong, and will you proclaim freedom for the captives, that they too can experience a great homecoming?
