Jeremiah 5 – God’s Questions
One of the powerful aspects of Jeremiah’s book is when he records God asking questions. Check out the questions in chapter 5 (some are repeated showing divine frustration): Why should I forgive you? Should I not punish them for these things? Should I not avenge Myself on such a nation as this? Do you not fear Me? Do you not tremble before Me, the One who set the sand as the boundary of the sea, an enduring barrier that it cannot cross? Should I not punish them for these things? Should I not avenge Myself on such a nation as this? But what will you do at the end of it?
While these questions are a powerful testimony by themselves, they are directed at the nation of Judah and can seem non-threatening to us. So lets ask this question – What questions would God ask us, our church, and our country? It is harder to feel comfortable when we aim God’s questions at ourselves.
