Chris.
One of the purposes of the Coming of Christ into this World was, and still is, to Restore and bring back God's People. The first fulfilment of this is surely for His Old Testament People, the Jews. Secondly, He has come to restore all humankind! To all people who open their hearts and lives to Christ, He will give Restoration.
