Session 226: Jeremiah 7v32-29v16
Jeremiah and Lamentations “Speaking God’s Truth To Power” and “Looking Forward To The New Covenant.”
Jeremiah (prophet approximately between 626-586BC to Judah, leading up to and including the fall of Jerusalem to Babylon) preached repentance and obedience to God, but was unpopular, imprisoned for his messages (Ch. 37), thrown in a well (Ch. 38), taken to Egypt against his will (Ch. 43), thought by some Jewish tradition to have been assassinated there by his own people.
Though he complained to God about his rough life, he boldly spoke God’s truth to power throughout his ministry.
Jeremiah looked to a New Covenant (Ch. 31)
Some key verses:
1:5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you..” (Good pro-life verse!)
23:4 “I will appoint Shepherds for them”
(Points toward Christ.)
23:5 “I will raise up a righteous shoot to David.” (Points toward Christ)
29:11 “For I know well the plans I have in mind for you....” (Good life verse!)
31:3 “With age-old love have I loved you.”
31:31-34 (The New Covenant envisioned.)
Jeremiah has traditionally been thought of also as the author of Lamentations.
Jeremiah was a failure in the eyes of man, but a faithful follower (with all it’s rewards) in the eyes of God. Which is more important to YOU?
