Jeremiah 33:3 - Call to me and I will answer you

'Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.'

Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.

Call to Me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know.'

Jeremiah 33:3

Commentary

Call to Me is a sign of the great love of God for His prophet. He invited Jeremiah to pray and then promised an answer to that prayer beyond Jeremiah's present understanding. God's people are invited to do the same (John 15:16).

Background

Jeremiah did not understand how God could restore a nation that was destined for doom (32:24-25), so the Lord challenged the prophet to call to Him for understanding. God said He would then reveal "great and unsearchable things." Only God can unlock the secrets of the future, and He offered this knowledge to Jeremiah.
