Jeremiah brought a lot of emotion to his prophetic role, earning him the name “the weeping prophet.” As judgment was being prepared for the sinful kingdom of Judah through the Babylonian Empire, Jeremiah was called to announce the rightness of that judgment because of Judah’s great sin against God. His daunting task was to bring this message of rejection to God’s people. But in the midst of that, Jeremiah also issued a call to the people to repent so that their situation might be reversed, and another call to the people who would not be taken into captivity in Babylon to repent so that things wouldn’t become worse but better. God commanded Jeremiah not to marry as an illustration of the isolation God was feeling from His sinful people. And yet, it is in Jeremiah that God reveals a new kingdom covenant he would make with His people to cleanse them, give them new hearts, and restore them to Himself. The good news of Jeremiah is that despite our sin, God offers us restoration if we will repent and return to Him. 5 Lessons from the Book of Jeremiah - Tony Evans #shorts #Jeremiah #leadership #tonyevans _____________________________________________________________________________ ▶ Do you know Jesus as your Savior? https://tonyevans.org/know-jesus-christ/ ▶ Stream Sermons: https://tonyevans.org/podcast/ ▶▶ Free Sermon App: https://subsplash.com/tonyevans/app/ ▶▶ DONATE: https://give.tonyevans.org/the-alternative/donation ▶ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drtonyevans/ ▶ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drtonyevans/ ▶ Are you a preacher?
