Influential Men of the Bible: Jeremiah
The story of Jeremiah is found in the book of Jeremiah.
Jeremiah, a man called in his youth, is sometimes called the “weeping prophet” because he shared his personal struggles as he delivered God’s messages. At first, Jeremiah retreated from his call (Jeremiah 1:6), but God assured Jeremiah that he would be told what to say, and that God would guide and protect him despite opposition (Jeremiah 1:7-8, 18-19). Jeremiah warned the people of Judah to repent in order to avoid exile. They had broken God’s covenant, primarily through idolatry, and as a result, they were subject to the covenant curses. They rejected God’s invitation, so Jeremiah later delivered messages of God’s inevitable judgment. Jeremiah was particularly hated by Judah’s leaders. He was put in prison, thrown into a well, and taken to Egypt against his will. He was not allowed to marry. He was rejected by his friends, neighbors, family, false priests and prophets, and kings. Jeremiah stood alone in his call for the people to repent and turn to God. And even though much of what he prophesied came true during his ministry, the people and leaders continued to ignore him. Yet through all the hardship and humiliation he was forced to endure, Jeremiah remained obedient and faithful to God. He may not have seen immediate results, but his struggle to obey God in a world that had turned away from its Creator has inspired generations of believers.
When isolation and persecution became more than he felt he could bear, in the time of his deepest need, Jeremiah cried out to God in prayer and praise. Sometimes this Christian walk may seem too hard, and the sacrifice appears too great, but just as Jeremiah found reassurance in the presence of God, we too can find refuge during times of inward anguish and moments of personal crisis. 1 Corinthians 10:13 (NIV) says, “No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.” God is so good that He will not allow believers to experience anything for which He has not prepared them. He will give every believer the grace and power to endure. The Sovereign Lord “knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations" (2 Peter 2:9). Endurance brings its own reward. Find comfort in knowing we are promised an imperishable crown at the completion of our earthly assignment (1 Corinthians 9:25).
