Jeremiah
This is the story of a prophet who was God’s lone faithful voice in a time of crisis for Judah. Jeremiah was known as the weeping prophet because his emotional expressions reflected God’s profound regret at what had gone wrong with his people, and Jeremiah was entrusted and empowered to deliver bad news to them about the fate of their nation. His message would not be popular or well received.
However, God also gave people hope, opportunities to change and good news that even though exile from the promised land was imminent, restoration would eventually follow. Not only that, but Jeremiah was given glimpses of the salvation God would offer to bring all nations back to himself.
