Where do I start with Jere Burnette? Known in his younger years as a scoundrel, but praised in his later years as a saint. If anyone understood the grace of Jesus Christ, it was Jere. The life he lived for many years was filled with rough living and bad choices. Until he had a scare with his heart a few decades back. That’s when everything changed.
I’ve heard the saying, “God never wastes a hurt.” That’s exactly what God exemplified through Jere. He used his heart issues as a turning point to get his life in order. But the crazy thing with God is he doesn’t just clean up the outside, he goes for the deep, hidden stuff in our soul. He changed Jere from the inside out.
