Aunque Israel había hecho muchas cosas malas, Dios no iba a dejar su pueblo en desolación. Aunque El tiene que castigarno de vez en cuando (y este es solamente porque El nos ama) no quiere Dios torturarnos. El nos ama, sin importancia a lo que hemos hecho.
El es un Dios de amor y paz. Y aunque pecamos, El no va a ni matarnos ni dejarnos.
Jer 26:4 And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD; If ye will not hearken to me, to walk in my law, which I have set before you,
Jer 26:5 To hearken to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I sent unto you, both rising up early, and sending them, but ye have not hearkened;
Jer 26:6 Then will I make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.
I think it would have been very difficult for Jeremiah to say these things. It can be extremely daunting to tell someone that they’re doing something wrong, let alone a curse to all nations.
But that’s exactly what it’s going to take sometimes.
It might be scary, and daunting at times, but the truth is that God’s work isn’t always a walk in the park. It might be tough at times, and it might be scary. I know that I’ve been put in moments where I wanted to crawl under a rock and hide forever.
But God gets glory out of a Christian who stands (and not in a vicious spirit. Trent said it really well, “A godly action does not require an ungodly attitude) for the truth of God, and speaks the truth against unnumbered foes.
