PAST VS. THEOLOGICAL BIOGRAPHICAL

Read: Jeremiah 1: 1-10

Before I formed you in the womb, I have known you, and before thee out of content, I sanctified thee, I have set thee a prophet unto the Nations. (Jer. 1: 5)

Bible in a year: 1 Kings 1-2; Psalm 37, 71, 94

An elderly passenger who sat next to me repeatedly turned to the right and to the left. I was curious and asked. The father then explains, "it's because I used to be a driver for 30 years." This simple example proves that like what we have today is closely related to what we have experienced in previous times.
Jeremiah's great prophet. His Ministry is very difficult, but it can be faithful to the end. Of course the interesting and important to understand its history it can be like that. However, it turns out the Bible just a little note data (past): the Prophet only biographical name and profession of his father, as well as his hometown (paragraph 1). Many noted that past his theological, i.e. about what God is doing in the "past" of Jeremiah, in which God had known, sanctify, set, even the Prophet Jeremiah to be outfitted for the Nations! (verses 5-10). This is much more important and more determine the present and future of Jeremiah, compared the limitations or weaknesses of private Jeremiah. This is the secret of the past success of theological Prophet Jeremiah perform the duties of his prophetic that last long and hard.
We're not a prophet, but as the elect in this day and age, we also carry the Mission of God. Like Jeremiah, we are called to be a blessing to the city, the nation, and for our times. Task what God entrust to you this time? Make a commitment to stick to it, regardless of ada-tidaknya weakness that you have, because God calls it guarantees that you can definitely do it! --ICW
