Jeremiah 31 is a bridging passage from the Old Testament Overview (linked at the end of this plan).
We must recognise the intimate relationship between the two ‘Testaments’, and that one informs (OT) while the other fulfils (NT).
The New Covenant, prophesied by Jeremiah, is the fulfilment of God's covenant with Abraham (Genesis 12:1-3).
Remember that the 'Old Covenant' refers to the Covenant with Israel through Moses (Mosaic Covenant), summarised in the Ten Commandments and that a covenant describes God's relationship with people.
After reading the passage, use these questions as the basis for your discussion.
1. What stood out for you / what was interesting and why? (The Holy Spirit’s prompting)
2. What was the passage about / the main message / big idea? (The Word of God)
3. What should we do / how can we apply this message? (Faith in Action)

About this Plan
This plan is designed for families (our girls were under 10 when we used it), but can also be used for personal devotion. Each day, the same three questions are used to explore the text. It provides a comprehensive "bird's eye view" of the New Testament; the aim is understanding the fulfilment of God's covenant as promised to Abraham (Genesis 12:1-3) and prophesied by Jeremiah (31:31).
