INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC Jeremiah, the Courageous Prophet. YOUNO PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC Jercmtah'B Scrvlco to Ills Nation. Jeremiah was one of the last proph ets of Judnh. He saw the nation go Into tho llabylonlnn Captivity and Je rusalem destroyed, after which ho went Into Egypt. He was n lonely, misunderstood and unpopulnr prophet. Ho was most bitterly hated nnd per secuted. Ills own countrymen turned against him. He was placed In stocks and then thrown Into'n horrible dun geon from which he nnrrovviy escaped with his life. The teacher should give n little sketch of big life. The tul lowing Is suggested: 1. Tils Call (1:2-10). ; 2. Ills Commission (1 :1M0)'. a. Ills Sympathetic Heart (4:10). 4. Ills Great Sorrows (10:1.".-21). 5. The Divine Power Which Urged Tllm Forward and Sustained 111m (10:7-0). IJecnuso ho wns cnllcd upon to prophesy against his own nation and nt the command of God urged them to surrender to the P.abylonlnns, be was regarded t-s a traitor guilty of treason ngnlnst hi own nntlon. I. The Rechabltes' Tcct (vv. 1-5). In the days of Jeholnklm, tho Lord charged Jeremiah to bring the Hechn hltea Into tho house of tho Lord and test them regarding tho drinking of wine. This he did In a place whero the pwplo might behold them, the aim being to teach Judah by exnmple. The father of tho Hochabltcs had given command tlint they should not drink wine. Their filial obedlenco put to shame the children of Judah for their lack of obedience. Jonadab, tho father of the Hcchnbltes, was only n man but the one whose commnnds Judah disregarded was tho Almighty God. their Creator and Savior. It Is God's plan that every man be tested. Doing n freo ngent, he can have char acter only through testing. II. The Filial Loyalty of the Rec habltes (vv. C-ll). Though they were out of their nwn country In the midst of a foreign peo ple they refused to drink wine, de claring that they had been true to tJio Instructlons of Jonadab nil their lives. It Is n fine thing when children re member their fathers nnd render obedience to their commands. IIL The Loyalty of the Rechabltes In Contrast With the Disloyalty xsf Judah (vv. 12-10). 1. The Appenl (vv. 13, 11). Ho made the appeal on the basis of the filial loyalty of the Hechabltcs. Ho nlso reminded them that ho had spoken to them In person, rising up early to do so. 2. The Ministry of the Prophets (vv. 15, 10). When the people fnlled to render obedience to God, ho sent to them tho prophets who plended with them to amend their ways by turning nwny from their idols. Mat thew Henry Indicates tho points of contrast somewhat as follows: (1) The Hechabltcs were obedient to on who was hut n mnn; the Jews dis obeyed the Infinite and eternal God. (2) Jonadab was dead and could not know of their disloyalty or correct them for It. God Is all-knowing and lives forever nnd will punish for dis obedience. (3) The Hcchnbltes wa never reminded of their obligations, but God sent Ills prophets to sponlc to Ills people. (4) Jonadab left tho charge but no estate to support tho charge, but God gave the people n goodly lnnd and prospered them In It. (5) God never assigned Ills people a task as hard as Jonndab's, but God's people disobeyed Him whilo tho Rechabltes obeyed their father. IV. Judnment Upon the Jews for Disobedience (y. 17). God declared that Ho would bring Judgment upon them nccordlng to whut IIo hnd snld. Judgment Is laid upon those who disobey and rebel ngalnst God. V. Reward of the Rechabltes for Their Loyalty (vv. 18, 10). Hecnuso they hnd been true to tho commnnds of Jonadab, they Rhould always have n representative before God. God has Mich n regard for filial obedience that IIo lets no act go uiv rewurded. Be Sure of Happiness.
