Jeremiah: Purpose
That His people hear Jeremiah's preaching /Word of His grace and salvation promised in Christ. Apart from this they had no hope of mercy but would
suffer the punishment for their sins.
Jeremiah 35 – The Choice we all face
Purpose: I want to be convinced that being obedient through self denial is the way of blessedness. To disregard this and live in disobedience is to be cursed.
Summary
Jer 35:1, By the obedience of the Rechabites
Jer 35:12. Jeremiah condemns the disobedience of the Jews;
Jer 35:18, God blesses the Rechabites for their obedience.
The Story
A people of God can be obedient in self denial. But religious people often are disobedient. They are cursed but those who are obedient are blessed Gospel
Lesson
Be holy by making sacrifices - No wine no homes = Self Denial in food - Self Denial in property. Repent of gluttony & covetousness.
We fail & sin but Christ died His life for my son gives me forgiveness & right standing. I only need the new identity He gives me in Him and in Him property= Heaven. So repent & believe today.
Application
Where are you at? Practising self denial or satisfying self?
Why did they sacrifice self? To be holy Are you holy or unholy Christ denied Himself life & choose death in life and death Therefore so can we if we believe and repent. How by looking on Christ and asking for his power and grace Jeremiah 36 You have the Word, do you believe it or not?
Purpose: I want to be convinced I have the prophetic Word. Don't be like that King and make the Word void by my sin, instead believe it and live by it.
