Jeremiah 38
Pastor Rick Beaudry unpacks Jeremiah 38, tracing Jeremiah's uncompromising prophecy that surrender to Babylon would spare lives, his imprisonment in a mire-filled cistern, and his rescue by the Ethiopian courtier Ebed Melek amid King Zedekiah's fear and vacillation. He connects Jeremiah's plight to Jesus, John the Baptist, Joseph, and Peter to show the cost of speaking truth, the perils of compromise and false patriotism when it replaces repentance, and the power of testimony to expose lies. Rich with pastoral counsel, he urges us to combat stress and fear through worship and prayer, seek discernment against deception, prefer obedience to God over the fear of man, and trust that Jesus intercedes for and will vindicate his people. Drawing on Hebrews and Lamentations, he calls us to enter Christ's rest, live faithfully amid persecution, and extend mercy while holding fast to the truth.
