For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. None of them shall teach his neighbor, and none his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD,’ for all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them. For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.” Hebrews 8:10-12
Teachers of the word, in small groups or large, in classrooms or in homes, on Sunday or on any other day of the week, one day soon we will be out of a job. Quoting the prophet Jeremiah, the writer of Hebrews brought to mind for those of the new branch grafted into the tree that the time will come when we will not teach one another any more. God's people will know God and we will have no reason to teach or preach to each other. But that isn't the best part.
That last line seems to me the promise to seize upon this day, sins and lawless deeds remembered by the Lord no more. Nevermore! Heaven and nature will sing on that day, but I think the redeemed of the Lord will out sing them for the mercy of the Lord in their hearts.
Have a rejoicing day in Jesus! Bucky
