Lesson 22 – God’s Pursuit and Intentions Do Not Change

Author and End: The Gospel Throughout the Bible

Last week, we examined the destruction of the northern and southern kingdoms of Israel. We emphasized that God keeps all His promises. While this is true of His promises of mercy, joy, and love, it is also true of His promises of judgment. God made covenants with Israel and mankind as a whole, and He will never break those covenants. However, there are consequences for sin and breaking a covenant toward God. After almost 900 years of longsuffering patience, God carried out extensive judgment on Israel. The temple that represented God’s dwelling presence was destroyed, the palace that represented Israel’s independence as a nation was plundered, the city of Jerusalem that held promises of a future was cast down, and the people were driven out of the land that represented God’s promise to the descendants of Abraham. Jeremiah ministered as a prophet during the final years of the kingdom of Judah. He pleaded with God’s people with an emotional declaration to return to Him, but they did not listen. He warned of the coming judgment but laced into these warnings is a message of hope. Jeremiah preached of a new promise and a new covenant in which God would uphold all sides of the covenant. He would still accomplish His work. Though it seemed everything was destroyed, God’s plan had not changed. We find this New Covenant anchored in God’s everlasting love.

Scripture References: Jeremiah 31:3, Jeremiah 30:22, Jeremiah 19:13, Jeremiah 31:1-40

From Series: "Author and End: The Gospel Throughout the Bible"

"Author & End" will follow the Gospel throughout the entire Bible, and we will discover that Jesus Christ is the Author and Finisher of our faith. In lesson 1 of our series, we see that the "ends of the Gospel" have been the purpose of God from the very beginning.
