August 15, 2019 Bible Study

I am using the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.

Today, I am reading and commenting on Jeremiah 26-27.

Other parts of the Book of Jeremiah are directed at abandoned God completely to worship pagan gods.  However, in today’s passage Jeremiah directs his prophecy of doom directly to those worshiping in the Temple.  Rather than listening to his words from God and repenting, the people who claimed to be trying to follow God tried to have Jeremiah killed.  They were angry because he told them that they would not be safe just because they worshiped in the Temple.  In the same way today it is not enough to go to Church and pay lip service to obeying God.  We must show His love to those suffering in the world around us.
