        Here’s an excerpt from the blog post.

        I can't wait until we get to John chapter 10 and then revisit this chapter of Jeremiah, but for now, I'll just give you a few highlights. When the Bible talks about the "shepherds," it is referencing those who are leading the people. In the context of Jeremiah, this is often a reference to the priests and prophets, and as we saw a few days ago, those particular leaders are unfaithful in their work.


        Here, God is condemning the shepherds because they are not caring for the people of God but rather doing harm to them and scattering them. But God promises that he will raise up "shepherds who will care for them." He goes so far as to mention, "David a righteous Branch." Of course, we've seen this already in Isaiah 11 and know that this is not a reference to King David, who is long since dead, but to Jesus, who will come to lead the people of God. The name that will be given to him is "The Lord our Righteousness," which is exactly who he became for all who believe in him.

          Here’s an excerpt from the blog post.

          Let's spend a few minutes in Chapter 17 today. There are two types of people: those who trust in man (or self) and those who put their trust in the Lord. Every human on this planet falls into one of those two categories. This section of Chapter 17 reminds us very much of the first Psalm. The two texts are so similar that we might even wonder if Jeremiah didn't use the first Psalm as inspiration.


          "Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength." Such a person is like a dry shrub in the desert. Nothing good comes to him. The result of the wicked, those who deny God, whose hearts turn from the Lord, is that they are like chaff before the God of heaven. They are burned up. They are blown away. They can not remain in the presence of God.


          However, "Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose trust is the Lord." That person will flourish. Like a tree planted by water, that individual has no fear of heat or drought. The one who trusts in the Lord will not only have green leaves but will also bear fruit.

            Here’s an excerpt from the blog post.

            In the New Testament, and particularly in the first and second letters to the Corinthians, Paul reminds his reader to boast only in the Lord. He makes similar statements in Philippians. Paul makes it clear in 1 Corinthians Chapter 1 that the wisdom of God is contrary to the wisdom of man, and the wisdom of man is contrary to the wisdom of God. Human wisdom comes off as foolishness in light of the wisdom of God, and no amount of study in human disciplines can make sense of the wisdom of God. No achievement or accolade can move a person, even an atom, into righteousness. The riches of Monte Cristo could not buy a foot of real estate in the Kingdom of Heaven. So then, why do so many people boast about what they know, what they've accomplished, or what they have accumulated?


            Christ Jesus is our wealth, the Spirit has given us wisdom, and God has worked his righteousness in us. I have nothing of my own to boast about. I have nothing of my own that I might hold up before the throne of God and declare, "Consider this, my Lord. Certainly, this trinket I have to offer might be of some benefit to you as I stand before you today." It would be foolishness.

                Here’s an excerpt from the blog post.

                "Run to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, look and take note! Search her squares to see if you can find a man, one who does justice and seeks truth, THAT I MAY PARDON HER." (emphasis mine) (obviously) God uses this kind of language throughout the Scripture. We see others like Job and Eli contemplating the need for a mediator between righteous God and sinful man. God is looking for just one individual of justice by which the whole city should be pardoned. But Jerusalem has turned from God. Of course, we see this as a foreshadowing of our need for Jesus and his coming and ultimate intercession on behalf of the sinful people. Jesus is the just man, the person of truth, and through him (by faith in him), we are pardoned.


                One of the themes in Jeremiah we see repeated frequently is the faithlessness of the priests and prophets. "The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests rule at their direction; my people love to have it so, but what will you do when the end comes?" I don't think we are much different today. People who claim to speak on behalf of God, our modern-day priests, and prophets, teach and preach at their own discretion with no regard for what is true of God. And the people, for the most part, love that it is so. But when the judgment of God comes upon the earth, those who have gathered for themselves false and lying teachers will have no recourse or opportunity for redemption.

                    Here’s an excerpt from the blog post.

                    The opening verses of this book indicate that Jeremiah became a prophet as a young man in the 13th year of Josiah's reign. Josiah had another 18 years ahead of him as King.

                    Jeremiah's time as a prophet:

                    18 years with King Josiah

                    3 Months with King Jehoahaz

                    11 years with King Jehoiakim

                    3 Months with King Jehoiachin

                    11 years with King Zedekiah

                    King Nebuchadnezzar destroyed Jerusalem

                    5 months into the Captivity
