Reading for August 25th

Read Jeremiah 8.1-3. In the horrifying conclusion to the sermon, the kings, who are not only the leaders but also symbolize the nation itself, will die and their corpses will be dishonoored. The sermon seeks to bring about obedience and true worship. The people must listen to the voice of God through the prophet. If the book's audience lives in Exile, then the sermon makes cler that only true worship will bring about renewed life in the land. Comments or Questions..
