Refuse to hear

The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.  Jer. 8:20

God sent Jeremiah to speak to the people of Judah.  In doing so, God was providing them an opportunity to repent and avoid His coming judgment.  But the people of Judah refused to hear the Word of the Lord.  In this verse, Jeremiah weeps over the people for losing their opportunity to be saved.

Jesus died on the cross and rose again so that we might have an opportunity to be saved.  God sends messengers today to tell people about Jesus so they can repent of their sin and avoid the judgment to come.  To refuse to hear is to lose the opportunity to be saved.

This is one opportunity we cannot afford to miss.
