Scandalous: Judgment or Grace

Which is more scandalous and remarkable?

That God judged and wiped out the world of Noah, Sodom & Gomorrah, and the Canaanites? Or that God gave them many years and even centuries in which to repent from their wickedness?

It was God's love and grace that He became human and gave Himself so that those who believe and rely on His redemption and grace would spend eternity with Him. It is a scandal of God's love and grace that He didn't wipe me off the face of the Earth the first time I sinned but am instead a beneficiary of His love and grace.
