Reading for September 17th

Read Jeremiah 17.19-27. In 17.19-27:Sabbath sermon. In this prose passge, God directs Jeremiah to announce to the leadership the absolute necessity of keeping sabbath law. They are not to carry burdens or do work, and they must heed divine commands. If they fail, then Jerusalem will be destroyed by fire. This sermon explains again thhat the exile did not occur because God's cruleity or forgetfulness but resulted from the community's failure to be faithful. Comments or Questions..
