Lamentations 5 begins with the word, remember. Chad Bird helps us understand the significance of this word. You can click here to read the article. If you read Chapter 5, you might realize that Jeremiah doesn’t share anything he hasn’t already said before. It’s as if he knows that only an act of God can change reality. And perhaps that’s the point of the entire collection of laments… that only divine acts of mercy like healing, humility, servanthood, a crucifixion, and a resurrection can bring complete restoration and freedom to love and serve God and others. Which means that all of life is remembering to die to ourselves so that we can rise again with Jesus.
