All Shall Know Him

"No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD,’ for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.” Jeremiah 31:34

Teaching is one of the callings we have one toward another. Some are blessed in doing it and others are blessed to receive it. However, this verse speaks of a future time when no teaching about the Lord is needed. All shall know Him. No more Bible study classes, no sermons, all already know the Lord. Kind of seems strange, does it not? What about worship services? Perhaps not, but only because all will worship the Lord already, all the time. Gathering together? Maybe we will be gathered together at all times already as the bride of Christ.

This verse speaks of something fulfilled that is no longer needed. New has come and the old thing has been set aside forever. Our Lord spoke of making all things new, so it stands to reason that we can wait as old things are set aside and new things take their places. Guessing what they might be is enjoyable, but will those guesses be correct? Of course, every one of us has something we do out of necessity now that we would gladly set aside in the new times to come. I could start a list, but would soon be overwhelmed. Like you, I will wait on the Lord and see all those new things He makes. Starting with knowing Him though, that is certainly a good 'un! I look forward to that with you!

Love and joy in Christ the Lord!
