For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time <\/strong>are<\/strong><\/em> not worthy <\/strong>to be compared<\/strong><\/em> with the glory which shall be revealed in us.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014Romans 8:18
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key\nVerse Thought: <\/strong>Read the key verse. Have you ever suffered? Suffered<\/strong>\nmeans \u201cendured affliction (hardships, troubles, misery, etc.)<\/em>.\u201d This\nverse is comparing suffering here in this life with the eternal \u201cglory\u201d that we\nwill know one day. (Glory<\/strong> means \u201cthe ideal condition God created man \u2013the\ncondition that was lost in the fall, but that can be recovered in Jesus<\/em>.\u201d)\nWe will learn about a prophet who suffered greatly, yet remained faithful to\nGod. He understood that sufferings now \u201care not worthy to be compared\u201d to what\nwe will be in heaven one day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emphasis:\n<\/strong>We are to be faithful to God (just like Jeremiah was) \u2013 no matter what\n\u201csufferings\u201d we think we endure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lesson\nSummary:<\/strong> In our last lesson, as we began the book of Jeremiah, we learned\nthat God knew him before he was even born. And that he would be a prophet to\nthe nations! We read many of the words that Jeremiah spoke to God\u2019s people, and\neven to the kings of Judah.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we continue in our study of Jeremiah, we\nwill read about some of his rejections and sufferings. We will begin to\nunderstand why Jeremiah is known as the \u201cWeeping Prophet.\u201d Jeremiah faithfully\nproclaimed God\u2019s Words to the people, warning them of the coming destruction\nand captivity, if they did not repent and return to God. When the people failed\nto repent, God allowed the Babylonians to besiege them. Jeremiah witnessed the\ncaptivity of Judah\nby Babylon and the destruction of Jerusalem,\nthe city where God had chosen to place His name. Even through all of this,\nJeremiah faithfully shared the Word of the Lord with the people. We will learn\nof God\u2019s protection of Jeremiah, allowing him to remain in the land to continue\ndelivering God\u2019s Words to the remnant that was left behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

God gave Jeremiah many words on the future of the nation Israel. We will look at a few of them today. He also reminded the people that God would keep His promise and send that Promised One, Jesus. See one of those promises. Jeremiah called Jesus the Branch of David. \u201cIn those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land\u201d (Jeremiah 33:15). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tradition has it that Jeremiah was stoned to death. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
