In this series, Collapse, by using Jeremiah’s account of Jerusalem’s downfall as a template for sin and suffering, we explore the range of human responses to pain, difficulty, and correction as revealed in the book of Lamentations. This exploration will cover a chapter each week in order to see the scope of God’s judgement and the fullness of God’s love for us through the attributes of his character. In this episode entitled, The Revelation of hope, Jeremiah describes his personal suffering during this dark time in his nation’s history, and, in the middle of his lament, he makes a beautiful declaration of his hope in God. Even in our most trying circumstances, we can trust that God will remain faithful and good.
