Jeremiah
was commissioned by God to preach everything God told him. He
preached his entire life. He converted no one.
God
knew Jeremiah would not be effective, so why have him preach? So the
Jews would have no excuse. They could not say, "I was never
told".
But
Jeremiah wasn't the first.
Moses
and Aaron were commanded to communicate to Pharaoh everything God had
said. But God advised them He would inhibit Pharaoh from complying.
Why?
So
"I can multiply MY signs and MY wonders. I AM THE LORD." Exodus 7:2-5
The
Egyptians would be without excuse.
What
has this have to do with you and me?
We
are the "Jeremiah's" of this generation. Like Moses and
Aaron, we tell unlikely respondents about God's great works. And like
Moses, we tell them again, and again, and again. They NEED to know
who the Lord is.
Who
will you speak to today?
I was looking for a "like" button!
