Jeremiah 3:21-25 A voice was heard on the high places, weeping and supplications of the children of Israel: for they have perverted their way… It is as when a man is in court, and is called for, to go into the witness box. He is standing in the crowd, and his name is celled: what happens? As soon as he hears his name he begins to push through the throng to reach his place. "What are you at?" says one. "I am called," says he. "Stand back; why do you push so!" says another. "I am called by the judge," says he. A big policeman demands, "Why are you making such confusion in court?" But, says the man, "I am called. My name was called out, and I must go." If he cannot come, if it is not possible for him to get through the throng, one of the authorities calls out, "Make way for that man — he is summoned by the court. Officers, clear a passage and let him come." Such is the kind of response which God looks for as He calls sinners to repentance. "Behold, we come unto Thee; for Thou art the Lord our God."
