Jeremiah recalls the exodus miracles by which God revealed His power and won renown among Israel and the nations. Remembering God's past acts strengthens confidence that He can act again to restore. The God who redeemed Israel from Egypt by signs and wonders is the same God who redeems His people from sin and death through the greater exodus accomplished in Christ.
