The word “return” and its derivatives occurs 112 times in the book of Jeremiah. The picture of God we get is that of a God who is following his chosen people to the very “brink of the falls”, so to speak, saying, “IT DOESN”T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY!” <ILLUS> Niagara falls, the “point of no ...read more
