Jeremiah 30:1 – 33:26 (Continued)

November 10, 2011

God's love. It is beyond human comprehension.

"And even today, after billions have chosen to prostitute themselves before the pimps of power, fame, and wealth, he still waits for them. It is inexplicable. It doesn't have a drop of logic nor a thread of rationality. And yet, it is that very irrationality that gives the gospel its greatest defense. For only God could love like that." ~ From God Came Near by Max Lucado

Hope. There is always hope. If (or when) man decides to respond to His invitation, God is there, loving him and welcoming him. Jeremiah 31 says the people "found help in the desert." God came to give them rest. "I love you people with a love that will last forever. That is why I have continued showing you kindness." "I will build you up again." You will plant your vineyards and enjoy the fruit. You will sing and dance and be joyful. You will worship, be happy and sing praises. "They will be crying as they come, but they will pray as I bring them back. I will lead those people by streams of water on an even road where they will not stumble." 

Tell them this message:

• I will bring them back
• The LORD himself will pay for them
• He will buy them back from those who were stronger
• The people will shout for joy for ALL the LORD has done
• Their sadness will change to happiness, comfort, and joy
• They will be rewarded for their work
• There is hope for their future
• God will do good things for them
• He will give them rest and strength for the weary (Cross Reference - Isaiah 40:31)
• "I will be their God and they will be my people."
