Eugene Peterson does a good job with this passage in his book on Jeremiah.
1) I love that a real estate transaction can be a symbol of hope.
2) It reminds me of people who are brave enough to try to start to rehab a decaying neighborhood. when have you seen seemingly futuile gestures come to fruition?
3) For people hwo are detail-oriented, who who like all the letters crossed and dotted, this passage is a godsend for htose hwo see god in the detials.
4) Jeremiah is buying land in the home territory, an attempt to 'go home again?"
5) What are other declarations of faith in an uncertain futre that you have done or experienced?
6) What have your real estate transactions been like?
7) What would our spiritual lives look like with this sor tof attention to detail?
8) Isn't this a marker of a belief in a new and different future?
