God says to us,
“I love you with an everlasting love” (Jeremiah 31:3). Through His love,
we have “a happy song” to sing (Jeremiah 31:7). Through His love, we
are “changed.” Our life is “turned around” (Jeremiah 31:18). The love of
God for us is revealed most powerfully in His Son, our Saviour, Jesus
Christ. He is the fulfilment of the prophecy in Jeremiah 31:31-34. When
we consider Him - how wonderful He is - and all He has done for us, we
will “give thanks to the Lord”, rejoicing in His goodness and praising
Him for “His love which endures for ever.” We see His love - supremely -
in “the righteous branch” - Jesus: “The Lord our Righteousness”
(Jeremiah 33:15-16).
"Be careful! Watch out for the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees!" (Matthew 17:6),. even after there us divine revelation (Matthew 16:17), the influence of evil can be felt (Matthew 16:23), The warning - "Be careful! Watch out ... !" must never be forgotten. Satan is looking for an opportunity to leads us away from the Lord. We must hear what Jesus is saying to us about discipleship (Matthew 16:24), and we must commit ourselves to Him (Matthew 16:25). There is nothing more important than this (Matthew 16:26). If we are to be true followers of Jesus, we must learn to live our lives in the light of eternity (Matthew 16:27). We are to seek revelations of God's eternal Kingdom, revelations which will send us back, from the mountain-top, to live each day for Jesus.
