The Wonder of Adoption
Scholars debate if God's words, "How shall I put you among the children?" express divine perplexity over sin or a glorious exclamation of His power. Either way, the point is the same: it is a profound miracle of grace for sinful people to be adopted into God's family. Commentators like Calvin and Spurgeon see it as highlighting the depth of sin, which makes God's solution—adoption—all the more wonderful.
