Geremia 29:13 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 29:13

And ye shall seek me, and find [me]
When persons seek the Lord aright, they always find him; a God hearing prayer; a God in Christ; bestowing favours upon them; granting them his presence; indulging them in communion with him; and favouring them with fresh supplies of his grace, and everything needful for them; every mercy, temporal and spiritual; that is, when they seek him in Christ, who is the only way to the Father, under the guidance and influence of the blessed Spirit; in the exercise of faith upon him and his promises; with fervency of spirit and ardour of mind; with diligence and importunity; with earnest desires and strong affections; and, as follows, with all sincerity of soul: when ye shall search for me with all your heart;
which, as Calvin rightly observes, does not design perfection, but integrity and sincerity; when they draw nigh with a true heart, and call upon him in truth, and search for him with eagerness, with a hearty desire to find him, as men search for gold, and silver, and hid treasure.

Geremia 29:13 In-Context

11 Poiché io so i pensieri che medito per voi, dice l’Eterno: pensieri di pace e non di male, per darvi un avvenire e una speranza.

12 Voi m’invocherete, verrete a pregarmi e io v’esaudirò.

13 Voi mi cercherete e mi troverete, perché mi cercherete con tutto il vostro cuore;

14 e io mi lascerò trovare da voi, dice l’Eterno, e vi farò tornare dalla vostra cattività; vi raccoglierò di fra tutte le nazioni e da tutti i luoghi dove vi ho cacciati, dice l’Eterno; e vi ricondurrò nel luogo donde vi ho fatti andare in cattività.

15 Voi dite: "L’Eterno ci ha suscitato de’ profeti in Babilonia".
