The theme of return is woven throughout Scripture, illustrating God's desire for His people to come back to Him and His willingness to restore them.<br><br><b>Old Testament</b><br><br>1. <b>Return from Exile</b>: One of the most significant themes of return in the Old Testament is the return of the Israelites from exile. After the Babylonian captivity, God promised to bring His people back to their land. This is vividly captured in <a href="/jeremiah/29-10.htm">Jeremiah 29:10-14</a>, where God declares, "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, declares the LORD, and I will restore you from captivity and gather you from all the nations and places to which I have banished you, declares the LORD. I will restore you to the place from which I sent you into exile."<br><br>2. <b>Repentance and Spiritual Return</b>: The call to return to God is a recurring message from the prophets. In <a href="/joel/2-12.htm">Joel 2:12-13</a>, the Lord calls His people to repentance: "Yet even now, declares the LORD, return to Me with all your heart, with fasting, weeping, and mourning. Rend your hearts and not your garments. Return to the LORD your God, for He is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion." This return is not merely physical but involves a heartfelt turning back to God.<br><br>3. <b>Covenant Renewal</b>: The return to God often involves a renewal of the covenant relationship. In <a href="/deuteronomy/30.htm">Deuteronomy 30:1-3</a>, Moses speaks of a future time when the Israelites will return to the LORD and obey His voice, and God will restore their fortunes and have compassion on them.<br><br><b>New Testament</b><br><br>1. <b>The Prodigal Son</b>: Jesus' parable of the Prodigal Son in <a href="/luke/15-11.htm">Luke 15:11-32</a> is a powerful illustration of return and repentance. The younger son, after squandering his inheritance, decides to return to his father, saying, "I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you" (<a href="/luke/15-18.htm">Luke 15:18</a>). The father's joyful reception of his son highlights God's readiness to forgive and restore those who return to Him.<br><br>2. <b>Return of Christ</b>: The New Testament also speaks of the return of Jesus Christ, a central hope for Christians. In <a href="/acts/1-11.htm">Acts 1:11</a>, after Jesus' ascension, two angels tell the disciples, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen Him go into heaven." This promise of Christ's return is a source of encouragement and motivation for believers to live faithfully.<br><br>3. <b>Spiritual Restoration</b>: The theme of return is also evident in the call for spiritual restoration within the church. In <a href="/revelation/2-4.htm">Revelation 2:4-5</a>, the church in Ephesus is admonished to return to its first love: "But I have this against you: You have abandoned your first love. Therefore, keep in mind how far you have fallen. Repent and perform the deeds you did at first."<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>The biblical theme of return is multifaceted, encompassing physical restoration, spiritual repentance, and the eschatological hope of Christ's return. It underscores God's faithfulness and His desire for a restored relationship with His people.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
