Discovering Jesus in Jeremiah
Description
the Book of Jeremiah uncovers three prophetic portraits of Christ and their implications for the believer's life. First, Jeremiah's life as the Rejected Messenger foreshadows Christ's ultimate rejection, calling listeners to choose courage over the "soft compromise" of silence. Second, the prophecy of the Righteous Branch (Yahweh Tsidkenu) reveals Christ as the King who is our righteousness (Jeremiah 23:6), challenging the temptation of spiritual self-justification. Finally, the promise of the New Covenant (Jeremiah 31:33 ) shows Christ as its mediator, empowering internal transformation by the Holy Spirit, which demands yielding personal control instead of relying on human willpower for character change. The episode concludes with a call to active discipleship based on these three truths.
