Ask any Christian to name their favorite books in the Bible and you’re unlikely to find the book of Jeremiah at the top of any list—or even on any list. Frankly, most of us tend to ignore this deeply sad book completely. Beginning as a young man, Jeremiah prophesied under five kings, and his prophecies were never listened to—or at least not obeyed. Yet Jeremiah has a lot to say to us today. As he tearfully tells us about what life without God looks like, his message of conviction, repentance, and faith has startling relevance to our modern world.
Our Bible notes on Jeremiah focus not on the history but on the message the prophet brought to a nation that was light-years away from God and about to experience judgment. Thank you for going on this journey, as we consider the call and message of this young twentysomething who lived over twenty-six hundred years ago but who definitely has some important things to say to us.
