'I will bring Judah and Israel back from captivity and will rebuild them
as they were before. I will cleanse them from all the sin they have
committed against Me... Then this city will bring Me renown, joy,
praise, and honour before all nations on earth...'(Jeremiah 33:7-9).
What great blessing lay ahead of God’s people! God was pointing His
people to the place of blessing: Jesus Christ - ‘the righteous Branch
from David’s line’(Jeremiah 33:15-16). ‘In Christ’, we have ‘every
spiritual blessing’: ‘No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has
conceived what God has prepared for those who love Him’(Ephesians 1:3; 1
Corinthians 2:9). God has so much blessing to give to us. Come to Him
and receive His blessing: ‘Call to Me, and I will answer you; I will
show you wonderful and marvellous things that you know nothing
about’(Jeremiah 33:3).
