Day 6: Jeremaih 31.1-34

New beginnings? South Africa, Germany, Zimbabwe, Eastern Europe, Israel. BUT there is always a shadow side. As Isaiah Berlin said, “Out of the twisted timber of our humanity no straight thing was ever made”. Havel saw an outburst of criminality after Czech freedom. So: freedom brings criminality; the underdog becomes the new oppressor; the victim becomes the victimiser (Israel)

But vv 31-34 can be applied personally then they express a real and wonderful hope.
