Jeremiah 22-23/Matthew 10-11
The God of details, He watches over His people.
OT – 23:1 “I will send disaster upon the leaders of my people – the shepherds of my sheep – for they have destroyed and scattered the very ones they were expected to care for,” says the LORD.
:5-6 “For the time is coming, “ says the LORD, “when I will place a righteous Branch on King David’s throne. He will be a King who rules with wisdom. He will do what is just and right throughout the land. And this is his name: ‘The LORD Is Our Righteousness.’ In that day Judah will saved, and Israel will live in safety.”
OT Flash Points
Don’t say, “The Lord said …”
Just repent & do the deeds of the life of repentance
Or you will be disowned
NT – 10:28-31 “Don’t be afraid of those who want to kill you. They can only kill your body; they cannot touch your soul. Fear only God, who can destroy both soul and body in hell. Not even a sparrow, worth only half a penny, can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it. And the very hairs on your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are more valuable to him than a whole flock of sparrows.”
NT Flash Point
Revelation comes to those who are helpless, broken, children
Come to Me
Perspective:
God has got you. Not the other way around. He is doing all that He is doing for one purpose – that He can say, This is My man, My woman. We must be in God’s hand so that He can plant men on the Rock as He has planted us.
