added Martin Luther's judgment of Baruch
Baruch reveals part of the Lord's relationship with his people. The exile was necessary to teach Israel to trust in him (chapter 2:5). The nation acknowledges its sin and spiritually returns to the Lord by seeking his wisdom and law. While they praise him in captivity (chapter 3:7), their fear is removed (chapter 4:21) and God leads them in joy (chapter 5:9). They trust in the Lord's promise of deliverance (chapter 2:34) and reject the idol worship of the Babylonians (chapter 6). Baruch is a book of hope which reveals the transformative power of trusting in God with sincere repentence.
