Aim: To marvel at the wonderful grace of God, in Christ.
Doctrine: The miracle of pardon is accompanied by earth-moving events. The world is impressed with the downfalls of Babylons; the church is amazed by saving grace.
Exegesis: How judgment and salvation coalesce (in Christ): the Lord defends His humbled people (vv. 11-13); the Lord gathers His disoriented people (vv. 14-27); the Lord restores His forgiven people (vv. 18-20).
Further application: How to view my life's challenges: out of great calamity, much good may come. Redemption is worth whatever troubles come with it.
Key verse: v. 20 '''In those days and in that time,' says the LORD, 'The iniquity of Israel shall be sought, but there shall be none; and the sins of Judah, but they shall not be found; for I will pardon those whom I preserve.'''
