SCRIPTURE READING
Jeremiah 3:14-25
14 “Return, O backsliding children,” says the Lord; “for I am married to you. I will take you, one from a city and two from a family, and I will bring you to Zion. 15 And I will give you shepherds according to My heart, who will feed you with knowledge and understanding.
16 “Then it shall come to pass, when you are multiplied and increased in the land in those days,” says the Lord, “that they will say no more, ‘The ark of the covenant of the Lord.’ It shall not come to mind, nor shall they remember it, nor shall they visit it, nor shall it be made anymore.
17 “At that time Jerusalem shall be called The Throne of the Lord, and all the nations shall be gathered to it, to the name of the Lord, to Jerusalem. No more shall they follow[a] the dictates of their evil hearts.
18 “In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I have given as an inheritance to your fathers.
19 “But I said:
‘How can I put you among the children
And give you a pleasant land,
A beautiful heritage of the hosts of nations?’
“And I said:
‘You shall call Me, “My Father,”
And not turn away from Me.’
20 Surely, as a wife treacherously departs from her [b]husband,
So have you dealt treacherously with Me,
O house of Israel,” says the Lord.
21 A voice was heard on the desolate heights,
Weeping and supplications of the children of Israel.
For they have perverted their way;
They have forgotten the Lord their God.
22 “Return, you backsliding children,
And I will heal your backslidings.”
“Indeed we do come to You,
For You are the Lord our God.
23 Truly, in vain is salvation hoped for from the hills,
And from the multitude of mountains;
Truly, in the Lord our God
Is the salvation of Israel.
24 For shame has devoured
The labor of our fathers from our youth—
Their flocks and their herds,
Their sons and their daughters.
25 We lie down in our shame,
And our [c]reproach covers us.
For we have sinned against the Lord our God,
We and our fathers,
From our youth even to this day,
And have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God.”
QUESTIONS FOR MEDITATION
► Q 1: What does the passage teach about God the Father, or God the Son or God the Holy Spirit?

Scripture Union Daily Guide – 12 November 2025 | OUTLINE
Despite the gravity of the sin of Judah, God still offered them the opportunity to return to Him (Jeremiah 3:14). What a compassionate God! This is the same kind of compassion He showed to humanity. While we were still sinners, He sent His only son to die for us (John 3:16; Romans 5:8).
Notice how God described the Israelites in Jeremiah 3:14a. They did not qualify for God’s restoration, yet he was not only willing to receive them back but was also determined to give them leaders after His heart and who will lead them in the right direction (Jeremiah 3:15).
What are some of the benefits Judah would have if they returned to God (Jeremiah 3:16-19,22)? Our God is compassionate, gracious, and forgiving. There is no sin He cannot forgive except unconfessed sins. He never gives up on us. No matter how far we might have wandered away, He is ever ready to receive us back, when we return to Him. Read Jeremiah 3:22b-25 and note what should be our correct response to God’s compassionate call.
