Hymn 26:  Joyous Peace Promised

·                     Jeremiah was persecuted for standing up for right; his own family turned against him even though he was a Prophet of the Lord – but he kept God’s Law in his heart

·                     He was delivered from the well by someone who was not a fellow Israelite, but who was motivated by concern and compassion

·                     His delivery was helped by the use of material that others had discarded, which was used to provide comfort in his rescue

·                     God seeks to deliver us from the pit of sin and death into which the devil pushes us all; God’s delivery is through faith, truth and love –traits which in many ways are becoming discarded by the world

·                     God will raise us up and set our feet on the solid Rock (Jesus Christ) as we look forward to the New Heavens and New Earth that He has promised

·                     Jesus said, “If a man keep my saying he shall never see death” – we believe it as we hold His promises in our hearts and await His return and the fulfillment of God’s Plan.
