28-Jul-2025
The city of Jerusalem was one of the proudest places in antiquity. There is no question that its stately status was a result of kings like David and his son Solomon. Now the city was a filthy mess, burned down by the rollicking Babylonians. It is to this change in status that Jeremiah breaks down and pens the book of Lamentations. Really, it is Jeremiah’s heartfelt cry and a
funeral song dedicated to the defeat and brutal fall of the city of Jerusalem. This defeat would not be permanent, though. This is, after all, the city where Jesus Christ will return and rule the earth for 1,000 years. Many call that future time the golden age of Israel. Lamentations is made up of five chapters and is a book about pain and suffering, but also about hope in God in the
midst of that sorrow. The book begins with this phrase, “How lonely sits the city that was full of people!” (LAMENTATIONS 1:1). It ends with. “Turn us back to You, O LORD, and we will be restored” (LAMENTATIONS 5:21).

Sin is not simple, and it is not something that can easily be understood. It is complicated and messy, and our sin has unforeseen consequences not only on ourselves but often others as well.
