Three men in the Bible whom God made up
again: —
Jacob, after Bethel, fell into double dealing, but God met him again at the fords of Jabbok. So business men restored. Simon Peter denied Christ, but Christ said to him, “Feed my sheep.” So ministers restored.
Mark started with Paul and Barnabas, but went back; yet God made him up again into the friend of Peter (1 Peter 5: 13). So can backsliders be restored. Man differs from clay; he can resist his Maker. See Isa. 45: 9.
