Hope for the Exiled Poor - Liberation (Jeremiah 29:11)

In Latin American base communities, Jeremiah 29:11 is read as God's promise to the poor and displaced. Campesinos driven from land, refugees fleeing violence, migrants seeking survival—they are today's exiles. "Plans to prosper you, not harm you"—this is God's word against systems that harm, that impoverish, that exile. The poor read this verse not as spiritual comfort alone but as revolutionary hope: God has a FUTURE for them, and that future includes justice. The promise fuels the struggle.
