Tuesday’s Thoughts on Scripture comes from Jeremiah 31:34: No longer shall they teach one another, or say to each other, "Know the LORD," for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, says the LORD; for I will forgive their iniquity, and remember their sin no more. (NRSV)
How nice it is to be somewhere and hear your name called (in a pleasant way - haha) by someone you know and who knows you. Catching up “by accident” can be such fun. And learning that you have the same interests, like in a restaurant or store, can also be fun.
So imagine, then, the importance of the promise that God will be known by everyone. Not because we have to be taught, necessarily, but because of God’s love and magnificence. And that knowing God means that we are loved and forgiven - forever.
Wait!!! That sounds a lot like grace to me. And as we prepare to commemorate the Reformation and Martin Luther’s teachings, that sounds like a perfect reminder for Sunday. God will be known to each of us - may it be so!!
And just because this was an awesome sight in the neighborhood field as I left for work this morning - there are these beautiful animals for today, too:
Blessings. And prayers.
