Listen to Nick read the Firestarter and Jeremiah 24:1-7.
Jeremiah, prophet of intense feelings, speaks for a God who has intense feelings. Not only is God’s hurt and anger revealed in Jeremiah, but there are bursts of tender love to move your heart in sweet surrender, as well as to be broken by the hammer and the fire. Sense in your spirit the tenderness of God in the image of the two baskets of flax. Repeat 24:7 often until you know it by heart.
The Lord reveals to the people, that though they are going into exile, there will be deliverance in seventy years. This is sad news.
Jeremiah is condemned to die for what he is prophesying; Jesus and other prophets died as well for their teachings. The mobs around Jeremiah are led by their own mind, instead of the mind of God. Who has influence upon what you think and do?
Mondays are dedicated to the reading of the Hebrew Prophets.
In the Season of Lent this year we read Jeremiah 18 to 35.
