"Greetings in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 21 November 2011"
Today's Bible Verse: Jeremiah 36:27-28 "Now after the king had burned the scroll with the words which Baruch had written at the instruction of Jeremiah, the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying, :"take yet another scroll, and write on it all the former words that were in the first scroll which Jehoiakim the king of Judah had burned."
Here we see that king Jehoiakim as he listens to the words of the first scroll shows his utter contempt for God's Word by burning up the scroll. Rather than repent, the king orders the arrest of Jeremiah and Baruch. The Lord tells Jeremiah and write yet another scroll.
In verses 29-31 indictment and judgement against Jehoiakim is pronounced. The indictment was declared because he destroyed the scroll of the word of God. First the Davidic lineage would not continue through him. His son would rule only three months before King Nebuchadnezzar deported Jehoiachin to Babylon, where he died. Second the king's body would be treated disgracefully after his death. As the king has cast the scroll into the fire, so his body would be cast from the royal palace. Third the royal household would experience the destructive judgement that had been pronounced in the words of the original scroll.
These verses show us that God, who inspired the Scripture, has throughout the years protected His Word from the attacks of evil men so as to preserve its content and existence. While the original manuscripts have long since disappeared, ancient copies and quotations from early church leaders demonstrate the preservation of Scripture. If there were no manuscripts, a complete copy of the Scriptures could be reproduced simply from the many quotations found in the writings of the early church fathers.
God's preservation of Scriptures was demonstrated in the ministry of Jeremiah. As we read earlier the king destroyed the first scroll of his prophecy, but God had it reproduced to ensure its preservation. As we read the Scriptures, the fact that God has preserved then for us over the years should emphasize their importance. Matthew 24:35 says, "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words will by no means pass away. We as Christians need to do what is right and let God judge those who do wrong.
Today's Hymn: "I Could Sing Of Your Love Forever"
Over the mountains and the sea, Your river runs with love for me
And I will open up my heart and let the healer set me free
I'm happy to be in the truth, and I will daily lift my hands
For I will always sing when Your love comes down
I could sing of Your love forever, I could sing of Your love forever
I could sing of Your love forever, I could sing of Your love forever
Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, how we are thankful Father for the preservation of Your Holy Word, that been preserved and written in so many languages, so that all people may come to the saving grace of Jesus Christ. How thankful we are Father, that your love for us far outweighs Your anger. How we thank you that You are a Loving and gracious God, and that You love us, Your children. Thank you Abba Father, for wrapping us in Your strong and loving arms. May You be the Potter, and may we be the clay, and mold us after Your way. May we each day, come humbly come before you, thanking you for all the blessings that You provide for us Your children.
Amen
