30:1
To be called “a Jeremiah” is to be called a person who is always gloomy. Jeremiah does contain a lot of judgement, but this is because there was a lot of sin! However, we now come to a few chapters where the tone is a lot more harmful. Judgement is not forgotten, but God’s ultimate purpose is salvation. However, if we do not take full account of the judgement we will be totally ignorant of the nature of God’s salvation. Those who have problems with the penal substitutionary atonement aspect of the cross always amaze me as being very foolish people and having a very limited understanding of God’s salvation.
