Have you heard of irreconcilable relationships?
Irreconcilable…
No way to get back together again
That’s where God’s people were in Jeremiah 2
He had tried to win them back
But they refused to return
So God wrote people
A bill of divorce
“That’s it!”
“We are through”
What’s more, Jeremiah describes
Dire consequences
Due to their divorce
War, starvation, disease, displacement
Death
No hope
For this relationship
To revive
Until Jeremiah 33
The Lord spoke of My Branch
The Lord our Righteousness King
Our Priest
He never fails
Jesus Messiah
On a wooden cross
He paid our penalty for sin
God placed on Jesus
The sin of us all
God said
The wages of sin
Is death
But My gift to you in Jesus
Is eternal life
God so LOVED the world
That He gave His only Son
To die for us
So that
Whosoever
Believes in Him
Would not perish
But have everlasting life
Jesus is the resurrection
And the life
He who believes in Jesus
Even though he dies
Lives
Seen by many for forty days
He ascended into heaven
But He is returning
To gather His own
Jesus made a way
Back to the Father
So that sinful people
Like you and me
Could once again
Have a relationship
With the living God
The living God
Is faithful
He is gracious
He forgives sin
He rescues
He loves
He helps
He provides
He prepares a paradise
For all who believe
Call upon the Name of Jesus
And thou shalt be saved
That's beautiful, Mark -- powerful and anointed!
