Top Highlights
“The prophet is to speak the warning of the Lord with the goal of having the wicked change direction and turn from death to life.” (Page 302)
“The people should know that Jeremiah prophesied under the last six kings of Judah and that his message was not welcomed by the Jews. In fact, King Jehoiakim cut columns from the scroll of God’s Word that Jeremiah had dictated to Baruch and burned the scraps in his personal firepot (36:22, 36:23). Then he ordered the arrest of Baruch and Jeremiah, but the Lord hid both men from the reach of the king (v. 26).” (Page 246)
“This is God’s work and God’s way. He brings life out of death. God works his salvation out of the lowly rather than the mighty. Referring to the royal lineage as the stump of Jesse rather than of David reminds the readers of the lowly origins of the Davidic kingship.” (Page 20)
“When the world observes Christians joyfully going to their altars regularly, they know that these Christians are different and that they treasure their relationship with the God of grace.” (Page 125)
“When sin is exposed and shortcomings are pointed out, the old Adam always wants to blame the messenger for being uncharitable or insist that the preacher is horribly mistaken.” (Page 248)
