Jesus talked a lot about what we can look forward to. Paul and Isaiah gave us a glimpse of the future for those who love and look for the Lord's return. "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has...
The people of Jeremiah's day considered the word of the Lord to be a reproach. They were given to greed, and everyone dealt falsely with their neighbor. No one was radical for the truth, or, as we would say in our time, no one was radical for Jesus,...
