Jeremiah 18:12 (ESV)
“But they say, ‘That is in vain! We will follow our own plans, and will every one act according to the stubbornness of his evil heart.’
This is the one summary verse of the entire reason for the Babylonian captivity.
This is the reason the nation of Israel will be taken into captivity.
This is the reason that man is separated from God.
This is the reason that God sent His Son to redeem man.
This is the reason Jesus lived a holy life to represent what man could not do.
This is the reason that Jesus hung on the cross.
This is the reason that rose from the dead.
This is the reason Jesus sent the Spirit.
This is the reason why Jesus is at the right hand of God to intercede for us in prayer.
This is the reason Jesus is coming again.
Because man rebels against God and wants to do his own plans, Jesus must intercede for man.
