Reading for August 24th

 Read Jeremiah 31.31-40. In 31.31-40: New covenant. The poems about the restored family are followed by a brief but potent claim that there will be a new way of relating within the covenant family. God will make a new covenant with them. God and Israel will live in renewed fidelity. In verse 34: Everyone from the least to the greatest will know God. In verses 35-40: The cosmos itself and the fixed order or creation will be a sign of that fidelity, and Jerusalem will be rebuilt and never overthrown. Comments or Questions..
