Jeremiah 36
Inspired thots
God is SO good and gracious; merciful and compassionate. He sends warning after warning to coax His people back to Him for blessings instead of judgment but the stubborn do not heed. Some fear the Word but no action was taken to heed it. Others blatantly abuse their power to reject the Word with violence through the burning of the scroll.
The different types of people responding to God's Word is liken to the parable of the Sower (Matt 13) who sowed to different types of soil; while some responded well, others were negatively towards the good news. Maybe the Word didnt seem like good news at that moment. It is good news for eternity. Maybe people are not willing to wait patiently for the better things to come. How sad!
