“Instead, this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days” — the LORD’s declaration. “I will put my teaching within them and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.” —Jeremiah 31:33 The book of Jeremiah details the broken path of sin and rebellion that led Judah into exile. Though the prophet pleaded with the people to return to the ancient paths prescribed by God, they refused to set a new course. But in the midst of their stubborn journey, God gave His people a beacon of hope and a promise of coming salvation—a new covenant for the forgiveness of sins. This forgiveness is found only in the blood of Jesus, shed for us on the cross. During the season of Lent, we’ll follow Jesus to Calvary with Jeremiah as our guide. Along the way, we'll repent of our sin and rejoice in the hope that lies not in our own strength but in the empty tomb of Jesus. And we’ll arrive at Resurrection Sunday with a renewed understanding of this unshakable truth: His love endures.
