Juxtaposition

In Jeremiah chapter 31, two very different pictures are described. One describes a time when all sorrow is washed away, and the people are filled with the peace of the Lord and radiant joy. The other describes a grieving parent, and the enveloping nature of such loss. What use of juxtaposition! Two very different things, placed side by side, that we may notice the contrast between them. I enjoy reading both of these scriptures. The sad one, because it's very validating in grief. The happy one, because it is so, so, SO beautiful. Sometimes I just stare at it and read it over and over. It's worth doing. That is all for today.
