1. I will forgive all their sins (1-11)

While Jeremiah was in prison, God's word came to him. God's hand of judgment would fall on his rebellious and sinful people. But when they repented and called on God, he would forgive and heal and restore them. He would bring them back from captivity.

2. The Righteous Branch (12-26)

God promised to make a righteous branch sprout from David's line. Through him, God's people would be saved. This promise is based on an older one: One from David's line would sit on David's throne forever; and the Levites--the priests--would be as countless as the stars in the sky (22). Jesus is the Righteous Branch, the descendant of David who sits on his throne forever; his people are the true Israel, a kingdom of priests and a holy nation, appointed to bring the world back to worship its Creator (Ex 19:6; 1Pe 2:9; Rev 1:5b,6).

Application: Lord, thank you for keeping your covenant with the day and the night, and your covenant with Abraham and David--and your covenant with me.
One Word: The Righteous Branch and a kingdom of priests
