DAWN OF REDEEMING GRACE

 DECEMBER 22, 2022

Jeremiah 33:14-15

“‘The day will come,’ says the LORD, ‘when I will do for Israel and Judah all the good things, I have promised them. In those days and at that time I will raise up a righteous descendant from King David’s line. He will do what is just and right throughout the land.’”

At the time of today’s text, Jeremiah has been fighting a battle. A long, hard, uphill battle, which has now landed him in prison. All that  he has warned God’s people about is coming true. Despair is everywhere. Doom and gloom have taken up a home in the cities and villages. God’s promises seem to have come to an end. From where is their Saviour to come now? Who are they as a people? Has God abandoned them?

Defeated. Exiled. Hopeless. Sagging and Tired.

And into this despair God speaks: “I will fulfill the good promise I made . . . “

God gave the world his best so that we can experience the best even in the midst of our darkest. When life is demanding the best of you, lean on the promise of God’s best: “…the dawn of redeeming grace.”
