% With today” 8 lesson, we begin @ five - part study of the great * prophet Jeremiah. We know more of this stalwart spiritual figure’s personal life and expe- erinces than of other Old Testa- ment prophets, and far .more _than of the elusive prophet Isaiah.
» Jeremiah was a man of the
people, the son of a Benjamite’
pHiest who lived in Anathoth, a
and family ties. ‘His “unpopw- larity and difficulties with his own people began early and con- tinued throughout his more than 40-year ministry. He called for _| spiritual reform: when the _na- ‘tion was pressed and threatened by, surrounding for- : retgn powers.
It was a time of conflict, po- litical breakup and maneuvering among the great powers sur- rounding Palestine—Egypt, As- syria, Babylon (Charldea). In 598 B.C., the Chaldeans ‘invaded Judah and captured Jerusalem, Eleven years later, Zedekiah staged an abortive revolt against the Babylonians and Jerusalem was destroyed.
Jeremiah has been called the “prophet ef tears,” mot too harsh or inaccurate judgment of his ministry, for he had much to weep over. His na- tion was about to be destroyed, his people carried-into captivity, atid God had chosen him for
ob-|the sad task of bringing this

later ‘had not the: people sinned themselves into a situation which required. judgment and redemption through suffering. They had forsaken God, they jad burned: incense _to__ other gods, and they worshipped the works of their own hands. For this they will be punished and Jeremiah will prophesy the com- ‘ing judgment among them. . Jeremiah had a divine voca- tion. God. sanctified him and ordained him. a prophet befote he was born, Yet, such ministry was the last thing Jeremiah wanted for himself. He tried to avoid it. He protested -that, being an immature, ’ inexperi- enced youth, he could not speak — and the Lord touched his mouth and gave him words. He protested he was afraid, for such a message would not make him popular— and the Lord as- sured him of His presence with him and deliverance. He ‘tried to remain silent — and God's words became a fire within him until he could ne longer endure out.

them with additional power and wisdom, Jeremiah reluctantly accepted God’s command. God seldom gives greater burdens than man can bear; and in those rare instances when He does, the Lord also provides greater strength with which to bear them.
Jeremiah was set over the nations ahd the kingdoms by God, to. use His ; words to root out-and destroy the plants not of-God’s-own-planting;-to over- throw and pull down the build- ings for which God had not laid the foundations; buthe was to ‘use God's words construc- tively, as. well, to plant'accord- ing to God's will and to build according to His line and plum- met?
