God’s preferred route

Jeremiah was a prophet to Judah and Jerusalem during the reigns of the final five kings. Jeremiah struggled to preach God’s word to people who chose to continue in the same sins that had brought God’s judgment to Israel, the 10 tribes of the Northern Kingdom of Israel. Jeremiah knew God’s plan for the world would require him to judge the nations, but he loved the Jewish people and continued preaching. His messages are often about each person's personal, individual responsibility to remain faithful to God. God had a preferred plan for the nation of Israel that the people had chosen to disregard. Jeremiah preached that God provides a way for individuals to choose a route that would redeem their life and return them to a position of blessing.
