A New Covenant: A Study in JeremiahNäide

What does it say?
Destruction came to Jerusalem as had been prophesied by Jeremiah. Nevertheless, God provided a glimpse of hope in the midst of despair.
What does it mean?
The account of Jerusalem’s fall undoubtedly proved that Jeremiah’s prophecies were authentic and accurate. Judah suffered greatly as a result; leaders were executed, thousands were taken into exile, and the city was pillaged. Yet, after being held captive for 37 years, a former king of Judah named Jehoiachin was released from prison and treated kindly for the rest of his life. The favor shown to Jehoiachin provided hope. God had kept His word concerning their judgment and would do the same regarding the restoration of His people. God’s promise to the Davidic line was being kept.
How should I respond?
Where do you find hope when your world seems bleak and grim? As a believer in Christ, you possess the greatest hope from the source of eternal hope (Rom. 15:13). As you spend time in Scripture, your faith is strengthened, giving you the assurance that God will fulfill every one of His promises. You choose how to spend your time each day. Will you make a commitment to fill your heart and mind with the Word of God daily? If so, the hope of Christ will abound in your life. The Lord is faithful and will fill you with His love, peace, and joy as you yield your life to Him.

About this Plan

Jeremiah prophesied during a period of intense upheaval. After being subjected to judgment, exile, and destruction, Israel’s future and God’s faithfulness were both called into question. Despite Israel’s uncertainty, God once again points His people towards the future, promising them a new covenant, a new heart, and a new relationship with Him (Jeremiah 31:31-34).
