He was called to the ministry of the prophet when he was a teenager. His ministry was one of the most difficult from other prophets, because he became hated from his family and plotted to kill him, he was whipped, attacked by mobs, threatened by the king and ridiculed. Jeremiah was imprisoned by the king&#8217;s princesses, thrown into a well with dung in it, beaten and accused of treason. But the worst of the ministry of Jeremiah&#8217;s ministry was that he was not allowed to get married and was alone, abandoned by his family and he had the most horrendous news against his people from God. Yet Jeremiah&#8217;s ministry was of hope for his people. One of the most famous verses says, &#8220;For I know the plans&nbsp;I have for you,\u201d declares the&nbsp;<span class=\"small-caps\">Lord<\/span>, \u201cplans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future&#8221; (Jer29:11). His message was that of restoration and repentance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"border-width: 0px;\">Lamentations 3:21-26<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><span id=\"en-KJV-20376\" class=\"text Lam-3-21\">This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><span id=\"en-KJV-20377\" class=\"text Lam-3-22\"><sup class=\"versenum\">22&nbsp;<\/sup>It is of the&nbsp;<span class=\"small-caps\">Lord<\/span>&#8216;s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.<\/span><span id=\"en-KJV-20378\" class=\"text Lam-3-23\"><sup class=\"versenum\">23&nbsp;<\/sup>They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.<\/span><span id=\"en-KJV-20379\" class=\"text Lam-3-24\"><sup class=\"versenum\">24&nbsp;<\/sup>The&nbsp;<span class=\"small-caps\">Lord<\/span>&nbsp;is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.<\/span><span id=\"en-KJV-20380\" class=\"text Lam-3-25\"><sup class=\"versenum\">25&nbsp;<\/sup>The&nbsp;<span class=\"small-caps\">Lord<\/span>&nbsp;is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.<\/span><span id=\"en-KJV-20381\" class=\"text Lam-3-26\"><sup class=\"versenum\">26&nbsp;<\/sup>It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the&nbsp;<span class=\"small-caps\">Lord<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Jeremiah is a symbolic person of the church whom God is molding to his image (Ep4:13). He felt the affliction that God instills on his elects he said, &#8221; <span id=\"en-KJV-20356\" class=\"text Lam-3-1\"><span class=\"small-caps\">I Am<\/span>&nbsp;the man that hath seen affliction by the rod of his wrath.<\/span><span id=\"en-KJV-20357\" class=\"text Lam-3-2\"><sup class=\"versenum\">2&nbsp;<\/sup>He hath led me, and brought me into darkness, but not into light (Jer3:1)&#8221;. When we come to Christ the process for change begins and it is not an easy one. Luke tells us that God chastises those whom he receives as his own (He12:6). Jesus said that every branch that bears fruit God prunes (Jh15:1-2). Job said, &#8220;For he wounds, but he also binds up; he injures, but his hands also heal&#8221; (Job5:18). Jeremiah understood that though God took him through the dark side; those difficult moments in life, he was going to deliver him. That when he went through those unwanted times with family abandonment, imprisonment etc.., the idea that God is a merciful God gave him hope that he was going to be delivered.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"poetry top-05\">\n<div class=\"poetry\">\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-4 col-sm-12 col-xs-12 col-lg-4\">\n<div class=\"row\" style=\"padding-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px;\">\n<div class=\"col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12 col-lg-12\">\n<div><span style=\"color: #f5d76e; font-family: Raleway; font-size: 21px; font-weight: bold; text-transform: uppercase;\">Verses<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\" style=\"padding-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px;\">\n<div class=\"col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12 col-lg-12\">\n<div class=\"bcv d-container go1526788856\">\n<div class=\"dropdown-display\">\n<div class=\"dropdown-display-text\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"bcv d-container go1526788856\">\n<div class=\"dropdown-display\">\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"dropdown-display-text\">\n<div class=\"bcv d-container go1526788856\">\n<div class=\"dropdown-display\">\n<p><b><u>Jeremiah 29:11<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n<div class=\"std-text\">\n<div class=\"std-text\">\n<div class=\"std-text\">\n<div class=\"std-text\">\n<div class=\"std-text\">\n<p><sup class=\"versenum\">11&nbsp;<\/sup>For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the&nbsp;<span class=\"small-caps\">Lord<\/span>, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"bible-item-text\">\n<p><b><u>Ephesians 4:13<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n<div class=\"std-text\">\n<div class=\"std-text\">\n<div class=\"std-text\">\n<div class=\"std-text\">\n<div class=\"std-text\">\n<p><span id=\"en-KJV-29286\" class=\"text Eph-4-13\"><sup class=\"versenum\">13&nbsp;<\/sup>Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Jeremiah 3:1<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"std-text\">\n<div class=\"poetry top-05\">\n<p>They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man&#8217;s, shall he return unto her again? shall not that land be greatly polluted? but thou hast played the harlot with many lovers; yet return again to me, saith the&nbsp;<span class=\"small-caps\">Lord<\/span>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Hebrews 12:6<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><sup class=\"versenum\">6&nbsp;<\/sup>For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>John 15:1-2<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"chapter-2\"><span id=\"en-KJV-26701\" class=\"text John-15-1\">I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.<\/span><span id=\"en-KJV-26702\" class=\"text John-15-2\"><sup class=\"versenum\">2&nbsp;<\/sup>Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Job 5:18<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"mod-reset\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Lamentations+3%3A21-26%2C+Jeremiah+29%3A11%2C+Ephesians+4%3A13%2C+Jeremiah+3%3A1%2C+Hebrews+12%3A6%2C+John+15%3A1-2%2C+Job+5%3A18+&amp;version=RVR1960\">Spanish<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who was Jeremiah?
