Bible School
Sunday, October 20th
"The Message of -Jeremiah"
JerJji-iii 21-23.
Jaast"SuE5ay-'s iessonjvejBtudied
Jeremiah and his call; today we will
take up his message for analysis and
application to our times. Jeremiah
was confronted with a hard task.; his
audience was a stubborn, rebellious
one, but, as they thought, worship
ing people. Is it possible for people
to go through a service and not wor
ship? Yes, we may take part in the
singing, praying and reading of the
Scripture and still not worship-r-if
our hearts are not rights .
One day God calls Jeremiah-
one of the great festivals when all the
people were at Jerusalem . to take his
stand at the main gate and deliver
the message (Verses 1 and 2). The
question has been asked, "Which tem
ple was this one?" The Jews. had
three in all.) The following infor
mation may be of value to the Bible
students I Solomon's temple, erected
1000 B. C, stood 420 years (I Kings
6. II Zerubbabel's temple,: built 534
B. C. (Ezra 1:5). Ill Herod's temple,
rebuilt and enlarged, work began 37
B. C. and finished at the birth of
Christ: 46 years in building and de
stroyed 70 A. D. This was the tem
ple built after the exile, very unpre
tentious. The message: "Hear the word of
Jehovah ..." ,
A keen observer notices how listless
like the people sit in their seats while
the man of God tries to put his mes
sage over; they do anything but lis
ten. Jesus said: "He that hath ears
to hear, let him hear." Matt. 11:15.
God will hold man responsible, how
they hear. "This is my beloved Son;
hear him." (Luke 9:11). Sunday
school teachers often lose heart when
they cannot get and hold the atten
tion of the class. If God cannot get
man to listen, why should man get
discouraged? "Amend your ways and
your doings." Change your habits
the "doings" are the acts formed by
habits. When men "hear" the voice of
God, as they should, a change of life
follows quickly; we call it conversion.
Then his "doings" undergo a change,
the things" he once hated, he loves
now. His whole manner of life is re
versed. The Jews deceived themselves,
believing that while they attended
the public worship, that was all that
was necessary; even as men do today,
trying to make themselves believe, if
they have attended "church" in the
morning, they now, have a license to
do the rest of the day as they please.
"Remember the Sabbath day to keep
it holy." What wonderful blessings
God has promised if man will oniy do
his part.
But' God will not accept a half
hearted service. There is not room
enough in the human heart for God

i-
and the world. JJe .will' not dwell in
a "den for r,pbb$rs.i" Only a. .heart
cleansed, washed, purified by the
precious blood of Jesus, is fit for the
Holy Spirit's dwelling place. A ser
vice that- will please -G6d and merit
his favor is to live right according to
verses 5 and 6, and, as James put it:
"Pure religion and undented before
God and the Father is this: To visit
the fatherless and widows In their
affliction and to keep himself un
spotted from the, world.'' Clean gar
ments are easily soiled and spotted,
when brought iH contact with the un
clean. Do men today attend devine
service who "steal, murder, commit
adultery and swear falsely" and have
their hearts on other things during
the public service-? .What would many
hearts reveal if they were Xrayed and
thrown on ,a' scr4en during the pub
lic service hour? No wonder we have
the warning of a wise man, who says:
"Keep thy heart with all dilligence,
for out of it are the issues of life."
(Proverbs 4:23). .
While it was the sin of disobedi
ence that separated man and God, so
it is the act of obedience that bridges
the chasm between man and God.
Naturally, man asks, "Does it pay to
serve God?" Peter said to Jesus:
"Behold, we have forsaken all, and
followed thee; what shall we have
therefor?" Jesus said ... "I say un
to you, that ye .which have followed
me in the regeneration . . . shall sit
upon twelve thrones . . . and shall in
herit everlasting life." (Matt. 19:26
29).
Frank C. Huston in his immortal
hymn tells us:,."It pays to serve
Jesus, etc." R. E. Hudson sings of
the beauties and satisfaction to be
under the shepherd's care in the
hymn, "His Yoke 'is Easy." "The path
of the just is as the shining light,
that shineth more and more unto the
perfect day." (Prov. 4:18).
Over and over God repeats his
promise, if ye do my will "then will
I cause you to dwell in this place. . . .
Harken unto my voice and I will be
your God, and ye-, shall be my peo
ple." It is a grievious sin to neglect
God and disobey him; and "How shall
we escape, if we neglect so great a
salvation?" (Hebrew 2:3). It is well
to remember: "Our God is a consum
ing fire." (Hebrew 12:29).
Indifference is the terrible sin of
our day. The masses do not near tne
church bell that calls: "Oh come to
the church In thef vale."
Jeremiah performs his hard task
faithfully! As a reward, he is thrown
into prison, but he' has a good consci
ence. : God delivered him. Co-laborer
with Christ cheer up rfaithful ser
vice rendered will have a sure rewaTd
be faithful unt death. (Rev. 2:
io). ; ;
