This passage reminds us that God has a particular care for people who are marginalized, vulnerable, disenfranchised, and oppressed. In this episode we dig into why that’s important and what that means for our lives and relationships.Jeremiah This is what the Lord says:“Sing with joy for Jacob;shout for the foremost of the nations.Make your praises heard, and say,‘Lord, save your people,the remnant of Israel.’See, I will bring them from the land of the northand gather them from the ends of the earth.Among them will be the blind and the lame,expectant mothers and women in labor;a great throng will return.They will come with weeping;they will pray as I bring them back.I will lead them beside streams of wateron a level path where they will not stumble,because I am Israel’s father,and Ephraim is my firstborn son.  var podscribeEmbedVars = { epGuid: 'https://www.queertheology.com/?p=5454', rssUrl: 'https://www.queertheology.com/feed/podcast/?wpmfeedkey=1%3B803a7377a32346e6c2e9dad2350c33b1', backgroundColor: 'white', font: undefined, fontColor: undefined, speakerFontColor: undefined, height: '600px', showEditButton: false, showSpeakers: true, showTimestamps: true }; Photo by Smit PatelThe post Your identity matters – Jeremiah 31:7-9 appeared first on Queer Theology.
