This reminds us of the importance of being faithful messengers of God's truth in our own contexts.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/h/hope_in_god's_plans.htm">Hope in God's Plans</a></b><br>Despite the context of judgment, <a href="/bsb/jeremiah/29.htm">Jeremiah 29</a> also contains messages of hope and future restoration (e.g., <a href="/jeremiah/29-11.htm">Jeremiah 29:11</a>).
