Scripture:
Jeremiah 1:1-3:5
Observation:
Jeremiah gets the job of telling Israel that they are about to be disciplined for their sin (idolatry). The message God gives Jeremiah to give to Israel uses the imagery of a bride who becomes a prostitute. God also sends the message that He loves Israel and that He will forgive His wayward people and their relationship will be restored.
Application:
Sin breaks our relationship with God. Forgiveness from and reconciliation to God came to Israel and to all the world through Jesus! Galatians tells us through Jesus we can be redeemed, made children of God and be given His spirit! (Galatians 4:4-6)
Prayer:
Thank You, Father, for offering us forgiveness and restored relationship! That is truly “good news!”
