UNIFYING LESSON PRINCIPLE:

Try as we might, as humans we often fail in our relationships. How can we restore broken relationships with others? Jeremiah foresaw a time when God would make a new covenant, writing God’s law on human hearts with the vow to be Israel’s God and to make Israel His people.

CONCLUDING REFLECTION:

Why the heart? The heart is the center of who we are. That is why the heart is the best place for God to write His New Covenant. Likewise the New Covenant is the best message to write in our hearts. Not only would God now write His covenant within individual hearts, He would also cleanse our hearts through the transformative power of the Holy Spirit.

PRAYER:

Merciful God, we ask you to search our hearts. Where you find sin, we ask you to cleanse our hearts as only you can. We then ask you to continue molding and making us into what you want us to be. We praise your name as did our fore-parents who proclaimed you to be a “heart fixer” and a “mind regulator.” We pray this prayer in your Son’s name. Amen.
