EXILES IN OUR OWN WORLD

Exiles in our Own World - Jeremiah 29:1-14 By: Ptr. Japhet Flanco In Jeremiah 29, we read of Jeremiah’s letter to the exiles. In this setting, the Lord executed His first blow of judgment to Judah when significant people were taken as captives to Babylon. Though it was unthinkable for Judah to stay and live as enslaved foreigners, the Lord would fulfill His promise to bring redemption to His covenant people by restoring them to Himself and renewing all things.  In this passage, we will see God’s instruction to His people that would cause them to thrive, even as exiles: bloom where you are planted, strive for the greater good of society, and submit to the wisdom of God’s judgment. More so, we will see how God gives them reason to hope by affirming His love for them and the fulfillment of His promises to them.  Join us, as we learn more about how we, exiles in our own world, are called to faithfully pursue the calling of God as we live in this fallen world and wait for the consummation of His promises to restore all things to glory.
