John Stott on Contextual Hope - Anglican (Jeremiah 29:11)
Source: John Stott48 words
"Jeremiah 29:11 must be read in context. This wasn't a promise to individuals about career success. It was God's word to a community in crisis, promising national restoration after seventy years. We can apply it—but responsibly, recognizing its original communal, covenantal meaning." — John Stott.
