Jeremiah 9 & 10

 There were two times in the gospels when Jesus identified precisely what had to be done in the moment- once, when he told a wealthy man, “you lack one thing”(the man had to liquidate all his assets and follow Jesus)- another time he explained to Martha, “one thing is necessary”• then he defended the one thing Mary had chosen to do- it can be a big relief to narrow down what’s most important now to one thingThrough Jeremiah, God confronted his people for their many betrayals- one of their worst failures was their attachment to other gods• but regardless of their many sins, there was one most important thing;◦ namely, that they would know God• unfortunately, they did not know their God◦ and as we saw in the verses above, they refused to know him- so God re-introduces himself to them• for me, this passage is one of the major highlights in Jeremiah◦ so we’re going to spend some time with it
