| From the Geneva Notes.
(c. 1599)
 | "Though the covenant of
redemption made to the fathers and this which was given later seemed
varied, yet they are all one and grounded on Jesus Christ, save that
this is called new, because of the manifestation of Christ and the
abundant graces of the Holy Spirit given to his Church under the gospel." |

| From
Matthew Henry's
Commentary. (c. 1700)
| "No man shall finally
perish, but for his own sins; none, who is willing to accept of Christ's
salvation." |
|
| From
Wesley's
Notes. John Wesley
(1703-1791).
| "God makes the root of
all this grace to be the free pardon, and the remission of their sins." |
|
| Salvation
Taken into God's Own Hands, Edward Griffin, c. 1830.
| "It is sometimes useful
to contemplate the duties which are transferred to us as agents,
and sometimes the hopes which arise from the agency of God. To
the latter of these subjects our text naturally directs our attention." |
|
| "God
in the Covenant; Jeremiah 31:33," Charles H. Spurgeon, 1856.
| "...the covenant of grace
excels the other covenant most marvelously in the mighty blessings
which it confers." |
|
| From the
Commentary on the Whole Bible
(Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
| "The same God who, as
it were (in human language), was on the watch for all means to
destroy, shall be as much on the watch for the means of their
restoration." |

| "Even with the new
individual knowledge of God, the corporate side of the covenant
relationship remains essential. Individuals, with their own
experience of forgiveness and their ‘internalized’ law, are neither
free from discipline nor without connection to the whole community
of God’s people." |
|
| Lectionary
Commentary, Jeremiah 31:27-34, 20th Sunday after Pentecost (Year C),
by Dennis Bratcher at Christian
Resource Institute.
| "This text is basically
about God and his willingness to work with humanity even in the face of
recalcitrance, even sinful rejection of him as God. From this
perspective, various Preaching Paths may unfold that have this theme at
the center." |

The New Covenant, James Arne Nestingen, The Lenten First Lessons,
Word & World Texts in Context, Luther Seminary, 1985.
| "Until the new age drives the old into passing, God's
friendship with us will have the marks of the cross, and Lent, as any
other day in the life of faith, will be a time of repentance." |

| "The vision of Jeremiah 31:31-34 has an
eschatological ring. Perhaps only in the eschaton will none of us need to
be taught. Perhaps only then will we do intuitively what we have
previously done out of duty." |
|
|
"Jeremiah's
Barbs," Ronald Goetz, The Christian Century, 1986. At Religion Online.
| "It’s a sobering thought --
as surrogate parents, you and I are about as good as Jesus, on
balance, is likely to find. If the love of God cannot be advanced
through such as we, it is not likely ever to be advanced. It is time
for us to grow out of our juvenile, neurotic absorption with our
frailties and begin assuming our roles as God’s earthly
parents." |

"A Second Advent," Ronald Goetz, The Christian Century, 1983. At
Religion Online.
| "Even our doubts and dilemmas are only
dark expressions of faith and hope. For had we not seen divinity in an
infant, we would not be impelled to ask God why, having come so close, God
still delays. Had we not been touched through the life and teachings of
Jesus by the immediacy of the new covenant, we would not feel this pathos
born of longing for a second advent." |
