The Gospel in Exile

The Lord commanded Israel to go into the land to engage in holy war.  They are to devote all that is unholy to destruction.  We skip ahead in Scripture and we consider Jeremiah 29.  This is a letter that Jeremiah writes to the exiles.  He encourages them to seek the welfare of the city.  What does this have to do with us today? We consider how Jeremiah 29 informs our life today as we sojourn under the sun as those secured in Christ.
