The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Jeremiah 3:12-13, “Go and proclaim these words toward the north and say, ‘Return, faithless Israel,’ declares the LORD; ‘I will not look upon you in anger. For I am gracious,’ declares the LORD; ‘I will not be angry forever.
13 ‘Only acknowledge your iniquity, that you have transgressed against the LORD your God and have scattered your favors to the strangers under every green tree, and you have not obeyed My voice,’ declares the LORD.”

Old Scottish Principal Whyte spoke of the Book of Jeremiah as “the most spiritual book in the Old Testament.” Dr. W. W. White added, “So far as we have a data for judgment, Jeremiah was the healthiest, youngest, bravest, grandest man of Old Testament history.” Jeremiah was indeed called by the LORD to proclaim His Word of judgment against His people.

What a twist of circumstances it is that we have self-proclaimed ministers today, who are committing the very sins the LORD condemned in and through the preaching of Jeremiah!

The initial sin pronounced in our verses above is that of faithlessness. We claim to be the Church of the LORD Jesus Christ, yet we fail to declare the message contained in His righteous Word! Instead, we engage in sin that transgresses and besmirches the integrity of the very LORD we claim to serve.

Sin is really nothing new since even before the days of Jeremiah. What is reprehensible is that we know our sin is wrong, yet we ignore the warning of our LORD’s true ministers and continue to engage in it. The LORD loves us just as a father loves his child; but it is that very love that works to subdue sin and implant righteousness in its place. Don’t resist the ways of the LORD! Listen to Jeremiah! Listen to Godly Pastors! Turn away from sin! Repent and receive Jesus Christ as the LORD of your life. You have nothing to lose except sadness and sorrow and discouragement and death and eternity in the fires of Hell.

Heartily in Christ Jesus,

(Dado III)
