The Lord Who Keeps Sending
25 The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah (that was the first year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon), 2 which Jeremiah the prophet spoke to all the people of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem: 3 “For twenty-three years, from the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, to this day, the word of the Lord has come to me, and I have spoken persistently to you, but you have not listened. 4 You have neither listened nor inclined your ears to hear, although the Lord persistently sent to you all his servants the prophets, 5 saying, ‘Turn now, every one of you, from his evil way and evil deeds, and dwell upon the land that the Lord has given to you and your fathers from of old and forever. 6 Do not go after other gods to serve and worship them, or provoke me to anger with the work of your hands. Then I will do you no harm.’ 7 Yet you have not listened to me, declares the Lord, that you might provoke me to anger with the work of your hands to your own harm.

The Lord Who Keeps Sending
Jeremiah preached during a time when Judah had grown comfortable in unbelief. The Lord had sent His prophets again and again, calling His people to repentance, yet they would not listen. They chased after false gods, trusted in themselves, and despised the Word of the Lord. Still, the Lord continued to send His messengers. That persistence reveals both His justice and His mercy. God desires not the destruction of sinners, but their repentance. We are no different by nature. We ignore God’s Word, cling to idols of comfort and pride, and refuse to hear correction. Yet the Lord still sends His Word to us through preaching, Scripture, and the Church. Above all, He sent His Son. Jesus bore the judgment our rebellion deserved when He went to the cross. There the wrath proclaimed by Jeremiah fell upon Christ instead of us. Through His death and resurrection, sinners are forgiven and restored. Today, hear His voice and do not harden your heart.
