Because earthly circumstances (like the looming Babylonian exile) can wipe these away overnight, they are inherently fragile and inadequate as a foundation for life.</li> <li>The Command to Boast in God (v. 24): True wisdom, security, and glory come from having an active, relational knowledge of God. Believers are called to boast in His specific attributes: steadfast love (lovingkindness), justice, and righteousness. Because these are the very things God delights in, imitating and aligning one&#8217;s life with them is the highest human calling.</li> </ul> </div></div> </div><div class="et_pb_module et_pb_toggle et_pb_toggle_0 et_pb_toggle_item et_pb_toggle_close"> <h5 class="et_pb_toggle_title">Jeremiah 9:23-24 NRSV</h5> <div class="et_pb_toggle_content clearfix"><div class="bcv d-container go2888862000" aria-expanded="false" id="dropdown-72177" aria-haspopup="listbox" role="button" aria-labelledby="dropdown-72177"> <div class="dropdown-display"> <div class="dropdown-display-text"> <p>23 Thus says the Lord: Do not let the wise boast in their wisdom; do not let the mighty boast in their might; do not let the wealthy boast in their wealth; 24 but let those who boast boast in this, that they understand and know me, that I am the Lord; I act with steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth, for in these things I delight, says the Lord.</p> </div> </div> </div></div> </div> </div><div class="et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_2 et_pb_column_2 et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et-last-child"> <div class="et_pb_module et_pb_video et_pb_video_0"> <div class="et_pb_video_box"><iframe title="What Do You Boast In" width="1080" height="608" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/7MUmvecZDro?feature=oembed" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></div> <div style="background-image:url(https://cmc-clinton.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Who-Do-You-Boast-In.png)" class="et_pb_video_overlay"><div class="et_pb_video_overlay_hover"><a href="#" class="et_pb_video_play"></a></div></div> </div> </div> </div><div class="et_pb_row et_pb_row_2"> <div class="et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et_pb_column_3 et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et-last-child"> <div class="et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_3 et_pb_text_align_center et_pb_bg_layout_light"> <div class="et_pb_text_inner">Tags: </div> </div> </div> </div> </div><div class="et_pb_section et_pb_section_2 et_section_regular" > <div class="et_pb_row et_pb_row_3"> <div class="et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et_pb_column_4 et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et-last-child"> <div class="et_pb_module et_pb_code et_pb_code_0"> </div> </div> </div> </div>

He calls believers to &#8220;abide&#8221; (or remain) in this secure, unchanging love.</li> <li class="n6owBd awi2gc" jscontroller="TDBkbc#Ml18Xb" data-sfc-root="ep" jsuid="aLrdcf_i" data-hveid="CAIIAAgACAkQAA" data-copy-service-computed-style="font-family: &quot;Google Sans&quot;, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px 0px 16px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(10, 10, 10);"><strong>The Link Between Love and Obedience (John 15:10):</strong> Jesus explains that keeping His commandments is not a burdensome set of rules, but the practical way we stay in His love.

While the disciples fail to comprehend this, they secretly argue about who among them is the greatest . Jesus overturns their worldly ambitions by declaring that true greatness comes from humble service, and illustrates this by embracing a small child.</p> <p><strong>A Clash of Perspectives</strong></p> <ul> <li>The Prediction: Jesus attempts to prepare his followers for the looming reality of the Passion, but the concept goes over their heads. Out of fear or confusion, they do not ask for clarification.</li> <li>The Argument: Instead of reflecting on Jesus&#8217;s sacrifice, the disciples bicker among themselves about who holds the highest status .</li> <li>The Definition of Greatness: Jesus teaches that leadership in the Kingdom of God is upside down compared to the world . He states, &#8220;Whoever wants to be first must be last of all and servant of all&#8221;.</li> <li>The Child as a Symbol: In the ancient world, children had no social status, rights, or power.
