No Sinner Beyond Grace

Commentators like Spurgeon and Henry see Manasseh as a supreme example of God's grace. Despite being one of the most wicked kings, his story shows that no one is beyond the reach of forgiveness. When he humbled himself and prayed, God heard and restored him. This serves as a powerful reminder that it is unrepentance, not the severity of sin, that creates a barrier to God's mercy.
