Charles Spurgeon Commentary Jeremiah 3:22

"Return, ye backsliding children, I will heal your backslidings. Behold, we are come unto thee; for thou art Jehovah our God." — Jeremiah 3:22 (ASV)

Return, you backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings.

Oh, the wonderful mercy of God! He treats sin as a disease. It was a grand thought, that on God's part He would not so much look upon sin as a willful deed and crime, but would look upon it as a malady of the mind and soul. I will heal your backslidings. And see the sweet answer that Israel gives to this.

Behold, we come unto thee; for thou art the LORD our God.

Oh, that that answer might come from every backsliding heart that is here tonight – that there might be a restoration of the wanderer to his God.
