You just changed my whole day!
I am going through the Old Testament history class. I can’t believe that is all there is about Jeremiah! I have been so involved and connected to this story, I can’t take not knowing what happened to him.
On top of that, on the test, I picked Zedekiah as my “least liked person”! I picked him because I got mad at Zedekiah for letting them put Jeremiah down in that mud pit. Now I feel really bad, after hearing you describe Zedekiah. I never felt any sympathy for him…I really hated his wishy-washiness (doubt that is a word). It is good to see that there is pride and hypocrisy there so I can ask Jesus to help me with that….but it does not feel very good.
Whew…this last Old Testament CD changed my whole day. I remember hearing Lou testify about Moses dying and crying about it. It’s awful to feel so connected to these men of God, and then hear they died – or worse yet, we find out we know nothing about what happened to them!
