The Bold Italics Underline

The Bold Italics Underline

Jeremiah 21-23

Jeremiah’s lamenting bathes all of history in the tragedy of rejecting God but the most yearning lament belongs to God Himself as He continually longs for us.

‘Thus says the Lord, “Behold, I set before you the way of life and the way of death…”  “Woe to him who builds his house without righteousness…” 21:8; 22:13

And then like a Gentle Loving Father who knows the weaknesses of His beloved children He provides righteousness for us;

“Behold, the days are

coming,” declares the Lord,

“When I shall raise up for

David a righteous

Branch;

And He will reign as king

and act wisely

And do justice and

righteousness in the

land…

And this is His name by which

He will be called,

‘The Lord our

righteousness.”     23:5-6
