Jeremias 23:18-40 NVIPT

Sermon Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 23:28

Jeremiah 23:28 I. The human dream is empty, but the Divine word is substantial. Chaff is a mere husk, but wheat is all grain. So the antagonists of the Bible deal in vague speculations or empty negations, whereas the Scriptures are positive and satisfying. II. The human dream is destitute of nourishment for man's spiritual nature, while the Divine word is strengthening and ministers to its growth. Chaff does not feed, but wheat gives nutriment. So mere speculation has in it no educating and... read more

DISCOURSE: 1061THE OMNIPRESENCE OF GODJeremiah 23:24. Can any hide himself in secret places, that I shall not see him? saith the Lord. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the Lord.MEN universally encourage themselves in sin, from the hopes of impunity. But they are under a fatal delusion: for however secret their iniquities may be, there is One who beholds them, with all their aggravating circumstances, and will bring them forth to the light, as grounds of his righteous indignation. The false... read more

DISCOURSE: 1062FIDELITY REQUIRED IN MINISTERSJeremiah 23:28-29, He that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the Lord. Is not my word like as fire? saith the Lord; and like a hammer, that breaketh the rock in pieces?OF all the different orders of mankind, there is not any that is more influential on society than that of ministers. The prophets of old, if truly faithful to their God, were means and instruments of diffusing incalculable blessings... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 23:1-40

Now in chapter 23 God speaks out against thosePastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture, saith the LORD ( Jeremiah 23:1 ).God said, "They're My sheep, but these pastors are scattering them and destroying them."Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the LORD ( Jeremiah 23:2 ).Those wicked pastors who... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 23:1-40

Jeremiah 23:1 . Woe be to the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep. Princes are often called pastors, as Cyrus, Isaiah 44:28, because they enforce the laws and protect the people. Shallum, and the last kings of Judah, were the worst of shepherds, who scattered all the sheep. The degenerate priests and the false prophets flattered those princes in all their errors. Jeremiah 23:5 . I will raise to David a righteous branch. The Messiah, as the Chaldaic reads. See Isaiah 4:2. The... read more

Jeremiah 23:21-22I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran; I have not spoken them, yet they prophesied.A Divine call indispensable to the success of a minister of the GospelI. A Divine call is necessary to warrant any man in taking upon himself the ministerial office. First, he ought to be satisfied that, in making his decision, he is not swayed by worldly motives, and should examine himself strictly as to the singleness of his aim, and earnestness of his desire, to promote God’s glory and... read more

Jeremiah 23:23-24Am I a God at hand, saith the Lord, and not a God afar off?God nigh at handGod is nigh at hand for judgment: the period of judgment, therefore, need not be postponed until a remote age; every man can now bring himself within sight of the great white throne, and can determine his destiny by his spirit and by his action. God is nigh at hand for protection: He is nearer to us than we can ever be to ourselves: though the chariots of the enemy are pressing hard upon us, there is an... read more

Jeremiah 23:28-29The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath My Word, let him speak My Word faithfully.The word and the dreamThe prophet here exhibits in contrast Divine teaching and the speculations of men. The former he calls the Word of the Lord. The latter he calls but dreams, the visionary offspring of the human mind, and partaking of the weakness and fallibility of the source whence they spring. Human minds must think. They will clothe truth in forms of their... read more

Jeremiah 23:29Is not My Word like as a fire?saith the Lord; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces? God’s fire and hammerI. The word of God has power in it.1. It is like a fire.(1) You who are the people of God must often have felt greatly comforted, encouraged, and cheered, when you have been hearing the Gospel, just as when, on a cold day, and you are half benumbed, if your eyes arc blindfolded you know when you are coming near a fire by the genial glow which you feel You delight... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Jeremiah 23:35

Jeremiah 23:35What hath the Lord spoken?The contents of the BibleI. Impartiality of its contents. Each writer is an “honest chronicler.” With an unflinching adherence to truth the whole story is told whoever may be unpleasantly involved therein. Such is the undaunted boldness, sterling integrity, and resolute independence of the Scripture scribes that they do not pause to inquire whose faults they are recording. Such is their antipathy to sin in all its forms that they expose the hydra wherever... read more
