Faith for Living | "Jeremiah: A Faithful Servant" [eBook]

The world of Jeremiah was filled with conflict – both within Israel and externally from her enemies.  During Jeremiah’s years as God’s prophet, he witnessed terrible things.  Jerusalem was destroyed.  The throne of David was replaced by heathen rule.  The nation slid further into spiritual decline.  Though he was concerned about the people of Judah, Jeremiah was very unpopular, terribly mistreated and imprisoned several times.  The Lord also forbade him to marry or father children.  So, in Jeremiah, we see a faithful servant whose calling included a life of loneliness and suffering.  Why would God put His servant in such a difficult situation?

Through his inward and outward struggles, Jeremiah remained faithful to God and dedicated to his ministry.  God’s servants continue to be persecuted and martyred in many parts of the world – this has been a truth from the days of the apostles to now, but there is a growing hostility becoming more emboldened by the hatred of God and His people.  Those of us who feel we are insulated and immune from such hatred need to think again.  In these last days, every servant of God must prepare for sacrifice and persecution.
