Dear Friends,

Should anyone give up hope while they are still alive? Should we give up hope on anyone who is still alive? Today’s devotional will help you be just full of hope. God bless you.

Because of Calvary,

John Janney

• Jeremiah 13:23

  Jeremiah 13:23  English Standard Version (ESV)
  23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin
  or the leopard his spots?
  Then also you can do good
  who are accustomed to do evil.

Jeremiah 13:23

“The question of the text is, ‘Can the Ethiopian change his skin?’ The answer is, — No, no, no, no, no, no. Here is the other question, — Can the Ethiopian’s skin be changed? The answer to that is, — Yes, yes, yes, as emphatically as we have just now said no, no, no. Can the Ethiopian’s skin be changed? Can the sinner’s nature be renewed? Yes, for God can do everything. He changed primeval darkness into light, he changed chaos into order, and God can turn that poor ruined man — that wretched drunkard, swearer, adulterer, into one who is chaste, and pure, and lovely, and honest, for all things are possible with God. He who made us can new-make us.”

[Charles Haddon Spurgeon, The Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit XLIII, (London: Passmore and Alabaster, 1897), p. 464]
