Reading
SAA Notes
Jeremiah, the prophet of approaching judgment, redeems a family field! There is a future for us! You don’t buy land if there is no future. The deeds are sent to the safekeeping of the exiles through faithful Baruch. Consider the Lord’s question in verse 27, and His further assurance of redemption in the midst of devastation. Here is LIGHT for every black time.
SJA Notes
* Dear Lord God, thank You for today. Thank You for Your word today. Please write it on our hearts.
“For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Houses and fields and vineyards shall again be bought in this land.”
Jeremiah had a very interesting life, walking a road with many difficulties and frustrations.
He was a preacher who spoke God’s word from the King on down to the commoner.
Back in chapter 29 we read that God has commanded the people to seek the benefit of the city they will be exiled to.
And here through Jeremiah’s preaching, truth-telling, we see further depth to God’s plans, to His love.
While they were to work for the good of the foreign city while in exile – Their exile would not last forever!
“For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Houses and fields and vineyards shall again be bought in this land.”
This is a word for us today – That life on this earth, it is not the end!
How good is God’s promise to us, the hope we have in glory, in the new heavens and the new earth, our inheritance not made of gold or silver – That nobody can take it from us!
It is the most important family heritage.
* Father God,
Thank You for giving us, undeserved, an inheritance in Your kingdom.
Thank You for saving us from our sin.
You are God above, and there is none beside You.
We are safe in Your arms.
Hallelujah, what a Saviour!
Amen.
