Today's reading is Jeremiah 33-36
God has brought and is bring destruction on Judah, yet here we find a great promise (Jeremiah 33). God is promising to bring them back and raise up the Messianic Kingdom. Part of this has been fulfilled in Jesus and part is yet to come but there is hope. Jeremiah knew he would never see it but as many a parent has had there is hope for those who come later. It is this kind of hope, which inspires people to sacrifice and even lay down their lives. It is this kind of hope which gives people the courage to face pain and not run, nor surrender.
Since the promise has been partly fulfilled in Jesus doing what was just and right, we can know that one day he will do the rest and make all things right. We too have hope.
