key verse: 3
I LOVE YOU WITH AN ETERNAL LOVE
A praise song rings in all the territory of Israel. After the rain, the sun comes, and after the judgment the joy flares.
1. I am their God and a Father (1-17)
The Eternal God says to Jeremiah that He will be God for Israel, in spite of their multiple faults and sins. God confesses that he loves Israel with an eternal love. Because of this unchangeable love, God punishes Israel up to the restoration. They will plant in Sion, and the acclamation of joy will spread. They pray, beg and even cry (15), and finally they will be conducted into the country in the torrent of love and peace. God is as a Father who leads his child who has commited sins. The abundant harvest, the spiritual satisfaction, the
satisfaction of the religious are, inter alia, the fruits of the restoration.
2. I repent (18-40)
Ephraim mourns because they feel guilty but they want to come back. Then they sincerely repent (19). So God's mighty love which comes from the entrails of God for his people rekindles (20). God urges the people to walk on the righteous way (21-25). God who has destroyed and pulled also builds and plants. At this time, everyone will be reponsible for his acts (30). Then, God will form a new alliance with the house of Israel and Judah, not through the law on ston but the law on the heart, the law of love (33). Then all will know God and God will remember them. These laws on the heart will never stop. Who makes the sun shine ? The firmament can't be measured, also God's love for his people is unfathomable. All the localities of the country will be devoted to the Eternal (40).
Prayer: Lord, thank you for being my God and my Father. You also are my shepherd who restores me when I repent.
Bottom line: His love is eternal, don't doubt it
