INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC. -Jeremiah Speaks Boldly for Ond. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC -When and How Should Wrong Be Ko bukedT , 1. ' Jeremiah's Solemn Warning to Judah (vv. 1-7). The Lord commanded him to stand In a conspicuous place in the temple and proclaim the Judgment which was about, to fall upon them because of their sins. The object was to provoke them ta 'repentance (v. 8). If they -'iiM not rerwnt. God would make the temple as Shiloh (v. 6). Just as aniloii was once the dwelling place of the Lord and now fallen Into decay and abandoned, so will It be with the ternple. Jeremiah was sent to speak the words the Lord had told him .and not to diminish a word. The minister of God must utter "unreservedly end faithfully all Unit God commands him to ..speak; neither Intimidation nor flattery should turn him aside. The reason Is that God has sent . him. II. Jeremiah on Trial (w. 8-11). 1. Cause of -Arrest (v. 8). It was for faithfully speaking all that the Lord had commanded. The one who speaks boldly what God commands shnll be opposed. The time-server and self-seeker will not stand for such a ministry. 2. The Charge (vv. 8, 9). It was a capital crime. They said, "Thou shalt surely die." His guilt according to their charge was twofold: (1) Pre tending to speak for God; (2) Speak ing against the temple and the city. According to their charge he was guilty of blasphemy and sacrilege. The one who prophesied without God's command was to be punished by death (Deut. 18:20). Blasphemy was also punished by death (Lev. 24:16). Both Jesus aud Stephen were accused of blasphemy. 8. The Princes Sit in Judgment (vv. 10, 11). When the excitement reached the ears of the princes they came to Judge of the merits of the case. Matters of state were not en tirely In the bunds of the priests and elders, but were partly controlled by members of the royal family. III. Jeremiad's Defense (vv. 12-15). Threats of ideath did not deter him from preaching, but only . made him retreat his message with clearness and tenderness. , ' 1. Reiterates His Divine Commis sion (v. 12). He hud nothing to deny, but to repent what lie hud said. He plainly, told them that In opposing him they were opposing God, for ;he was God's messenger. 2. His Eshortntion (v. 13). He urged them to amend tlielr ways and obey God, and God would not bring npon them Judgment. Their threats did not cause him to suppress or soten his message. 8. He Gave Himself Up (v. 14). He did not resist the powers of govern ment (Rom. 13:1). Knowing that he was sent of God he was content to trust God for delfvernnce. He did not fear what man could do unto hi in. 4. Warns .of j .Fatal Consequence (v.-15). lie' frankly told them that God had sent him and If they killed him. they -wohld be guilty of defying God. . Resistance to- God's " prophet Would be resistance to God. Woe would not only fall upon them,' but the notion and city would suffer. IV, Jeremiah Saved (vv. 16-24). ' He was acquitted. God Is uble to raise up friends and advocates from the ranks ; of those who oppose us. All hearts are in God's hands. 1. Judgment of the Princes (v.16). They ' pronounced him not guilty, as be had spoken In the. same of the Lord. Jeremiah's words convinced them that he was speaking the truth. 2. Speech of the Elders (vv. 17-23). As the princes probably represented the Ijlng, so the elders represented the people. The elders plead for Jeremiah and adduced several cases In illustration: (1) Mlcah.(vv. 18, 19). Mlcah had prophesied against Jerusalem, but the king Hezeklah instead of putting him to death, repented' and thus turned aside the punishment which was Im pending. (2) Urijah (vv. 20-23). Urljnh prophesied against the city and land and thus Irieurred the wrath of Jehoinklm, who brought him back from Egypt whence he had fled "and slew liini. Though all this was done. Judgment was not thus thwarted. Killing God's prophets does not prevent God's Judg ment, but intensifies it. In 'the case of Hezeklah God's Judgments were turned aside through heeding the words of the prophet, and In the case of Jehoinklm Judgment fell upon the nation because of refusal and mal treatment of the prophet. 3. Rescued by Ahikam (v. 24). Abikam must have been a man of In fluence such as to be able to Interfere at such a time. Must Bear Cross Joyfully. The pictures of our Lord on the cross, the earliest representations, were not like the later ones; they were of a victorious figure In the prime of life, with no nails through His hands and feet, with an npright head, and a look of joyful self-sacrifice. And that Is what we must aim at : we must bear the cross Joyfully ; "take up" the cross 4t mal i all the difference lying down under It Is one thing, taking It up is another. Take It np bravely. Joy fully, cheerfully, and you will find the tr comparatively easy to bear. The Bishop of London. SundaySchool " "Good - to the Misused.
