Revelation of the Word:

THEME: BACKSLIDDEN

Jeremiah 3:6-8

“The Lord said also to me in the days of Josiah the king: “Have you seen what backsliding Israel has done? She has gone up on every high mountain and under every green tree, and there played the harlot. And I said, after she had done all these things, ‘Return to Me.’ But she did not return. And her treacherous sister Judah saw it. Then I saw that for all the causes for which backsliding Israel had committed adultery, I had put her away and given her a certificate of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah did not fear, but went and played the harlot also.”

INSIGHT

-The Lord likens backsliding to divorce. The Israelites turned away from God to perform idolatry, and forget the Lord who got them out of Egypt, and the purpose for which it happened (Jeremiah 2:5-6). The Lord issued her with a certificate of divorce to end the marriage, but her sister Judah followed suite to worship after other gods and she was not afraid. The church is the bride of Christ, the congregation of believers have turned from the way of faith. A union cemented by love segregates because of adultery. The Lord made a promise to the children of Israel saying, “return, O backsliding children, “for I am married to you. I will take you, one from a city and two from a family, and I will bring you to Zion””(Jeremiah 3:14). The Lord is calling each one of us to love Him with all your heart, mind, soul and strength, and your neighbor as yourself.
