Advent: Jeremiah 31:17 by ric gustafson
The words of hope in this bible verse are directed to Rachel. The bible verse says there is hope for your future says the Lord your children shall come back to their own country. Rachel weeps for her children. Who is her children?. It is the chosen people. They are now being taken away into captivity in exile. They are rejected. Because of hope, these beloved will not be abandoned. Despite their transgressions, God promises that they will be brought home.
Even though we have sufferings, sin, death and evil, Jesus can and will take all of that away from us. Why?. Because Jesus loves us more than anything else.
