Who Was Jeremiah - the "Weeping Prophet"? |
|
Alyssa Roat |
A prophet's life is never easy, but Jeremiah had an especially rough time.
Known as the Weeping Prophet, Jeremiah was a prophet to the southern kingdom of Judah in the Old Testament, right before Judah ultimately fell to Babylon and was led away into captivity. God sent Jeremiah to a crumbling nation to warn of their impending demise – a warning they didn't heed.
However, Jeremiah's most lasting legacy may in fact be one of hope. One of the most oft-quoted verses in the Bible, Jeremiah 29:11, has offered hope to believers for centuries. So, who was this weeping prophet in a dying nation who also brought such words of comfort and promise?

Why Are We So Prone to Idol Worship? |
|
Alicia Purdy |
One of the most profound things any human being can come to understand is this: You were created to worship.
If you really understand this, many of the choices, habits, behaviors, and relationships you have will start to hold a different meaning. Because you were created to worship, you cannot help but worship. And if you are not worshipping God, what or whom are you worshipping, exactly?
Without a God-consciousness, that is, the Holy Spirit living within, most people will never stop to truly examine the answer to that question. However, for the Christian, the subject of worship is as crucial as salvation because if you're not actively worshipping God, you are actively worshipping something or someone else.
