A Fathers Heart

The New Testament isn't an alternative way to approach God, nor do we see a “different” or “nicer” God than in the Old as some imagine. Rather, the Old Testament flows right into the New. Jesus in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John is the perfect complement, the perfect fulfillment of the Old Testament. Beginning this Sunday and for the next few weeks, we will turn our attention to the heart of the Father as seen through the lens of the Old Testament, particularly this week in Lamentations 3:19-33.

Lamentations 3:33—literally the middle verse of the book—is the climax, the pinnacle of the entire book (Hebrew poets loved to do this kind of thing). What does it tell us about the Father’s heart?
