God’s Promise to His People (Jeremiah 30:8-22)

Though judgment is falling, and suffering and exile are the experience of God's people to whom Jeremiah is writing, God is working for their restoration, healing, and freedom. How God accomplishes those realities is often not how we envision it. In many ways, the work of God is the opposite of what we expect, but it is desperately what we need.

Isaiah 53:-4-5 (ESV) - "Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed."
