This was Jeremiah’s plea as a result of seeing the punishment of the Jews. The devastation they experienced was demoralizing. Their once proud culture stripped of their dignity. He placed much blame on the elders and religious leaders who had abused the privilege of the office they held. As a result, the people brought reproach upon God Who could not leave their sin unpunished.

We mess up all the time. But, we have an Advocate, a perfect High Priest, a Leader Who walked this life in a perfect way. When we give our lives to Him, we experience His love, His forgiveness, and His “Fresh Start.”

How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation? [Heb. 2:3]

READ/HEAR: Lam. 4,5

Note: I am so excited to hear one of TCS’s grads, Kaley Grace, preach at Palmetto Baptist Church this morning at both 9:00 and 11:00 services. She has been a solo missionary in Uganda recently. So proud!
