Jeremiah 37:1-17 | Rev. Dr. R. Brandon Harris | The question is on the lips of the King Zedekiah. But the question he asks is not the one truly on his heart. What he really wants to know is whether there is any hopeful word from the Lord. And, as a matter of fact, there was not. There was only a message of destruction. Zedekiah treated God as a genie rather than the sovereign Lord of Israel. Zedekiah, we learn, was not inclined to listen to what God was really saying. The question Zedekiah asks is poignant and powerful, yet who among us are truly ready for the answer?
