What do you do when God gives you a word, and the people who should welcome it most want to silence you? In Jeremiah 26, the prophet stands in the temple court and tells Judah exactly what God said, without holding back a word. The priests and prophets call for his death. Another prophet, Uriah, delivers the same message and pays for it with his life. Pastor Scott Millis walks through this chapter with a challenge, some encouragement, and a warning. God’s people have never had a pass on sin. The cross dealt with sin once for all, but that is no license to take it lightly. Our covenant promises forgiveness, provision, and healing, but it does not promise that everyone will welcome the gospel. Christ still calls us to come and die to the old life, so we preach the gospel anyway and live the gospel anyway, because Christianity is built on resurrection.
