- A cry is heard on the
barren heights, the weeping and pleading of the people of Israel, because they have
perverted their ways and have forgotten the LORD their God.
- "Return,
faithless people; I will cure you of backsliding." "Yes, we will
come to you, for you are the LORD our God.
- Surely the idolatrous
commotion on the hills and mountains is a deception; surely in the LORD
our God is the salvation of Israel.
- From our youth
shameful gods have consumed the fruits of our fathers' labor-- their
flocks and herds, their sons and daughters.
25.
Let us lie down in our shame, and let our
disgrace cover us. We have sinned against the LORD our God, both we and
our fathers; from our youth till this day we have not obeyed the LORD our
God." We often made mistake when we
didn¡¦t know what our parents¡¦ wish was until we got a punishment. So we cried, parents taught us not to do it
again, forgive us, and hold us again.
Parents always taught us to correct the wrong and obey their teaching.
Here, we see God¡¦s offer for a restored relationship through Israel¡¦s remorse
and confession of their sin. The key: people turn
away, but we also can turn back. I will cure you of backsliding. (V.22)That God is the
Healer provides lavish hope. Verse 24-25, is declaring the world almost
totally devoted to worship of the natural world and lesser gods. All of a sudden, Judah saw they had been sinning
against God from the beginning¡Xnot just individual Judeans, but all Judah and Israel had ¡§not obeyed the Lord, God.¡¨
Jeremiah
predicted a day when the nation would be reunited, true worship would be reinstated,
and sin would be seen for what it is. In today¡¦s world, most people can not see sin
until they are destroyed by the sin they pursued. The advantage of
believing God¡¦s Word is that we don¡¦t have to learn by hard experience the
destructive results of sin. Judah needed (as do we) God¡¦s
assurance.
B. God¡¦s Assurances: C§Q¦Ì®Ñ4: 1-4,
1. "If you
will return, O Israel, return to me," declares the LORD. "If you put your detestable idols out of my sight and no longer go astray,¡¨ 2. and if in a
truthful, just and righteous way you swear, 'As surely as the LORD lives,'
then the nations will be blessed by him and in him they will glory." 3. This
is what the LORD says to the men of Judah and to Jerusalem: "Break up
your unplowed ground and do not sow among thorns.¡¨ Verse 4:2, Putting away
gods who are ¡§a deception¡¨ (3:23) is a necessary
step to living in the wholeness and health of reality. Repentance benefited
not just Judah. God¡¦s blessings are for all.
v.4, ¡§heart circumcision¡¨ mean throwing out the ¡§idols¡¨ in our
lives.

C. Discussions: Jeremiah 4:1-4 1. Do you think God¡¦s forgiveness of us is
dependent upon our action? Why or why not? (God¡¦s forgiveness is
certainly unconditional and free, but we must respond to this forgiveness by allowing God to work in our lives). 2. What in your mind is the meaning of God¡¦s
call in verse 4 to ¡§circumcise your hearts¡¨?
D. POINT: God
knows the destructiveness of sin; therefore, He
offers us abundant life (John 10:10).
