Jeremiah 19The same LORD who had promised to remake his pottery if they repented now visually demonstrates what he will do to them if they do not repent. Jeremiah was told to take a potter’s flask and break it before the people. He did this in Gehenna – the valley (Ge) of the son of Hinnom. By so doing, he demonstrated the fate of Judah for their rebellion and idolatry. He also illustrated final punishment for all the wicked, for when Jesus spoke of final punishment, he used the word Gehenna. In the end, those who do not repent will be destroyed, just like that potter’s flask.
LORD, rain your righteousness on us. We hear your words, and seek to change – not just to avoid hell, but because we want to live. We want to be suitable vessels for your eternal life.
