86. Jeremiah 5: 1Roam through the streets of Jerusalem
Jeremiah 5: 1Roam through the streets of Jerusalem. Look and take note; search in her squares. If you find one person, any who acts justly, who seeks to be faithful, then I will forgive her. 2When they say, “As the Lord lives,” they are swearing falsely. 3LORD, don’t Your eyes look for faithfulness? You have struck them, but they felt no pain. You finished them off, but they refused to accept discipline. They made their faces harder than rock, and they refused to return. 4 …For they don’t understand the way of the LORD, the justice of their God.

141. 3. How do you reconcile the wrath of God toward those that have dismissed Him or rebelled against Him with the grace and mercy of God which we celebrate through communion?

142. 4. Jesus’ very accurate prediction of the future of the temple and Jerusalem demonstrate the Lord’s perfect knowledge of future events. How is that reassuring to you as you consider the future?

143. 5. Jesus’ detailed description of the judgment to come while reassuring His disciples demonstrates His absolute control over all that does and will happen. How does that encourage you?
