Come

The author, probably Jeremiah, understands that Babylon was used merely as a human instrument of God’s judgment. Yet through his laments, he wrestles with the ways of God.

For to us a child is born! Enter the King! Exit the darkness! The light of the world has come!

Today is the day to humble yourself before God. Today is the day to seek His forgiveness. It is time to come back home.

God came to rescue. God promised to send a deliverer “as he said through his holy prophets of long ago.” In Jesus, this promise was fulfilled. Jesus came to rescue us from the world, from our sin, from the devil, and from death.
