The Wild One was a 1953 film starring Marlon Brando that focused on a rebellious motorcycle gang. When Brando’s character was asked what they were rebelling against, he answered, “what do you got?” Put simply, the rebellion was the point.

Author Mike Wittmer reminds us that Israel had the same problem in the book of Jeremiah – they were stubborn in their worship of idols. Again, rebellion was the point.
But the good news? God’s love is stronger than our rebellion, even when it’s open. “Return, faithless Israel,” God calls to them. He asks them to acknowledge their guilt.

Jesus died for rebels just like us. He always leaves the door open for our return! Praise God for that.
