Like love, hope is probably an overused word, right? We hope it doesn’t rain. We hope our team wins. We hope we’ll beat the crowds. But hope is a super important biblical word, and it’s a key idea for Jeremiah. Judah is about to go into their darkest hour ever—a bitter time of suffering, alienation and deep doubt. That’s where this hope is aimed. It’s meant to be an anchor for desperate, despairing people. 

But this hope is a new kind of hope. Hope that the cycle of rebellion and restoration won’t be repeated forever. Hope for a return that means more than a return to the land. Hope that everything about to be lost will be restored with more. Hope for godly shepherds. Hope that God will do something so radically new in every heart, that nothing can be the same.

Let’s dig in to see what God revealed to Jeremiah that could be so profoundly hopeful.
