The Man the Lord is Looking For

The Lord would have pardoned and spared Jerusalem if He had found just one man who fit the description He was looking for. The was looking for a man in that day. And the Lord is looking for a man in our day. Usually Sheriffs put up wanted posters for criminals, but in this case, the Lord knows that the whole city is criminal and deserving of punishment.

But this grace is preached to them by Jeremiah, and this grace is preached to you here this afternoon. There are 4 things which you and I need to see.
