Jeremiah 24 · Grade 3

Good Figs and Bad Figs

Name Date

Read the Story

After the king of Babylon carried away King Jeconiah and many people, God showed Jeremiah something. Two baskets of figs were set before the temple.

One basket had very good figs, like the figs that are first-ripe. The other had very bad figs that could not be eaten. God asked Jeremiah what he saw.

God explained the picture. The captives taken to Babylon were like the good figs. God would set his eyes on them for good and bring them again to the land. He would build them and plant them. He would give them a heart to know him, and they would return with their whole heart.

Memory Verse

“I will give them a heart to know me, that I am Yahweh. They will be my people, and I will be their God; for they will return to me with their whole heart.”

Jeremiah 24:7 (WEB)
