“They will ask for the way to Zion, turning their faces in its direction; they will come that they may join themselves to the Lord in an everlasting covenant that will not be forgotten.” Jeremiah 50:5
As Jeremiah comes to a close, we have a promise of Israel’s future; their return to their former kingdom. God patiently endured their Idolatry and Sins against one another, brought Judgement upon them by taking them to Babylon, and was now returning them to their Homeland after Punishment.
What a Picture of God’s dealings with us, His New Covenant People. We, who have been bought with a Price, been adopted and become His true Children, have His care as a Father and may experience His parental correction at times, but will always be restored to His Love and Favor. May this cause our hearts to draw near and be comforted by His Love!
