Rev. Joel Haak, pastor at Trinity Lutheran Church in Rochester, MN, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Jeremiah 30:1-24. The LORD commands His prophet to write down His words, words that now turn to consolation as Jeremiah begins what is often called his “Book of Comfort.” The LORD’s promises of healing and restoration are given not only to Judah, but to all the children of Jacob. Sharp transitions from Law to Gospel are evident throughout the text. The day of distress comes, yet on that day, the LORD will break the yoke that He had once placed upon His people. The promise of a king in the line of David brings great hope, fulfilled ultimately in the incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ.
