The Lord sends Jeremiah running through Jerusalem to find one righteous man so the city may be pardoned—and finds none. The foe gathers from the north and Jeremiah’s vision unmakes creation itself over a people wise to do evil. The one Just Man is found at last outside the walls, and for His sake the city is spared.
In Jeremiah 3:1–4:4, the Lord does the legally impossible: He calls back the wife the Law itself would bar from return. Yet mercy overrules statute — “Return, backsliding Israel,” He says, “I am merciful.” The one condition He names is not penance or probation but honest confession: “Only acknowledge your iniquity.” The same road the prodigal walked home runs through Jeremiah 3, and the same Father runs to meet us.
“For My people have committed two evils: they have forsaken Me, the fountain of living waters, and hewn themselves cisterns — broken cisterns that can hold no water.” (Jer. 2:13)

Thesis 27: “Actually one should call the work of Christ an acting work (operans) and our work an accomplished work (operatum), and thus an accomplished work pleasing to God by the grace of the acting work.”
Thesis 28: “The love of God does not find, but creates, that which is pleasing to it. The love of man comes into being through that which is pleasing to it.”
Thesis 25: “He is not righteous who does much, but he who, without work, believes much in Christ.”
Thesis 26: “The law says, ‘do this’, and it is never done. Grace says, ‘believe in this’, and everything is already done.”
Paul’s charge to Timothy exposes the fundamental choice: trust the uncertainty of riches, or trust the God who richly provides. Christ doesn’t offer budgeting tips—He offers true life. The kingdom of heaven is the priceless treasure for which you sell everything else.
