Threatened with Death

Today’s Feast June 1, 2014- Jeremiah 26 Threatened with Death clic aquí en español * Please join us sharing God’s Word daily.  We will spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately three year.  Gods Not Dead!  “27 for I did not shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God.” Acts 20:27 Jeremiah Chapter 26; “The destruction of the temple and city foretold. (1-6) Jeremiah's life is threatened. (7-15) He is defended by the elders. (16-24)”  -  Matthew Henry Concise Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site Dear Saints, Today we prayerfully continue our Feast reading the book of Jeremiah Chapter 26.  The Word of the Lord came to Jeremiah.  God commanded him to speak to his people (see Jeremiah 25:1-7) and do not hold back one Word God has spoken.   I know from experience when the Holy Spirit urges us to speak to a person about Jesus (see 2 Corinthians 5:20) that we are to obey, knowing that an urgent need may be at hand.  I rode a commuter train to work for many years and on the journey (see Ephesians 6:19-20) I got to know many of the people by playing chess and witnessing.  One Friday night on the way out from Los Angeles I played chess with a man named John.  I felt like I should be witnessing to John because I knew his religion was a false religion.  I was enjoying the chess game so much I reasoned that I could witness about Jesus on Monday.  After all we rode the same train everyday five days a week.  Then on Monday morning when I got to the train station I didn’t see John so I asked some of the other passengers if they knew why he wasn’t on the train today.  One of the other passengers told me; “John had a massive heart attack on Saturday and died.”   I can’t express how bad I felt did John die in his sin because I put off telling him the truth about Jesus?  I know for sure there is nothing more urgent that the Word of God (see Titus 3:14) and as an ambassador for Christ I should never reason away the urges of the Holy Spirit. The people set about to kill Jeremiah because they loved their traditions (see Jeremiah 26:7-15) if they were to follow through and kill him because they didn’t like what God was saying they would be destroyed.  The people who were railing against Jeremiah wouldn’t hesitate to kill a prophet from God (see Jeremiah 26:16-24) because they loved the world and felt secure in their sin.  God gave Jeremiah favor and his life was spared; “24 But the hand of Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah so that he was not given over to the people to be put to death." Jeremiah 25:36-38  English Standard Versions (ESV).  Our Lord and Savior Jesus has given us eternal life and a purpose (see James 2:13-15) there is no reason for us not act on the Word of God. “2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. 4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”“ Revelation 21: 2-4  ESV.   There is no down side in turning from sin (see Ephesians 3:19-21) and accepting Jesus as our savior.  Along with salvation from sin comes life everlasting (see John 3:16) it is our gift from God.
