We're Not Home, Yet

Jeremiah writes to his readers, “Seek the welfare of the city.” One of the motifs of the bible is that of exile and alienation. We are not home, yet. God calls us as heavenly citizens to work for the welfare of our community.

There is One Hope, and He Has a Name

As we read today, Jeremiah account of the Lord telling him to buy a field just before the destruction of Jerusalem and the exile into Babylon, a promise of restoration. 

Luke who wrote the gospel from which we read today, describes the coming of that restoration at the beginning of his gospel. 

Our Epistle today soberly reminds us, it's possible to get hope wrong.
