The Bible is different from all other books. It is the only book inspired by God, which means God put the thoughts and ideas into the minds of the writers. Not only that, but God made sure the words were correct, so that everything in the Bible is true. We can trust what the Bible says.
This Sunday we will look at the prophet Jeremiah, whom God chose to warn the Jews about the punishment God was sending in the form of the Babylonian army. The Jews had worshiped other gods, particularly Ba’al, even though God had sent prophet after prophet to warn them of the consequences. Jeremiah’s message was to turn back to God, but no one listened to him.
In Sunday’s story, Jeremiah has the scribe Baruch write down God’s message to Judah. When it was read in the Temple, the Jewish leaders knew the King should hear it. The King didn’t listen, however. He took a penknife and cut up the scroll and burned it in the fire.
That didn’t stop God’s message, though. God told Jeremiah to write down the same words again, with an added section about the punishment which the King would suffer for his treatment of God’s Word.
Come and bring a friend as we learn more about the Bible.
Tom and Sydney Cook
