I bring glad tidings of good news and great joy! I didn’t
die when I spoke to the students Thursday! I didn’t trip and fall on my face,

speak God’s love and grace in our lives.
I shared Jeremiah 24 with them. Most of you probably know
that story, but I will summarize it anyways. This is the time after Jehoiakim’s
son and officials and craftsmen had been sent into exile from Jerusalem by King
Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. Get all that? Alright. So God uses a story about two
baskets...
