Matthew 19:1-22 Dear RTB’ers, Welcome back to Matthew! I don’t know that Jeremiah is a good interlude, but it did afford us a two-week break from Matthew. So now we return, finishing Matthew over the next three weeks. One of the last items that I posted on Matthew had to do with gospel “turning points”. …

February 28 / Jeremiah 21-22
Jeremiah 21-22 As Search the Scriptures notes, today’s reading mentions each of the last five Kings of Judah: Despite Josiah’s good reign and all his reforms, his sons and grandson all revert to evil, stubbornly refusing to listen to Jeremiah and bringing the LORD’s judgment upon themselves and the Kingdom of Judah. Just look at …
February 27 / Jeremiah 19-20
Jeremiah 19-20 In considering Jeremiah 19, take some extra time to study the “Valley of the Son of Hinnom” and “Topheth” to understand the setting for Jeremiah’s breaking of a flask to illustrate the LORD’s judgment of Judah. Take a look at II Chronicles 28:3 (referring to evil King Ahaz), II Chronicles 33:6 (referring to …

February 25 / Jeremiah 16:1-17:18
Jeremiah 16:1-17:18 In case you haven’t noticed yet, things are not looking good for the people of Judah. Forget about life as usual. Forget about having kids, as it will most certainly not go well for them. (Jer. 16:1-4) It’s time for any partying to stop: For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God …
February 24 / Jeremiah 14-15
Jeremiah 14-15 Though our iniquities testify against us,act, O LORD, for your name’s sake;for our backslidings are many;we have sinned against you. Jeremiah 14:7 Thus begins a seemingly good and proper prayer of confession and contrition in Jeremiah 14:7-9, looking for relief from the LORD. We see another such prayer in Jeremiah 14:19-22. Yet the …
February 23 / Jeremiah 13
Jeremiah 13 Hear and give ear; be not proud,for the LORD has spoken. Jeremiah 13:15 Well? Are we listening? Or are we too proud to heed what the LORD says? Are we so proud that we think of ourselves as superior to ancient Israel and Judah? Are we so proud that we don’t even see …
