Book ◦ Chapter

Do not be afraid of them
This phrase is a direct command from God to Jeremiah, emphasizing the importance of courage in the face of opposition. In the historical context, Jeremiah was called to prophesy during a tumultuous period in Judah's history, facing hostility from kings, priests, and the people. Fearlessness is a recurring theme in Scripture, as seen inJoshua 1:9, where God commands Joshua to be strong and courageous. This command reflects the assurance that God provides His servants with the strength needed to fulfill their divine missions.

for I am with you
The promise of God's presence is a central theme throughout the Bible, providing comfort and assurance to His people. This echoes God's promise to Moses inExodus 3:12 and to Joshua inJoshua 1:5. The presence of God signifies His support, guidance, and protection. In the New Testament, Jesus assures His disciples of His continual presence inMatthew 28:20, reinforcing the idea that God is always with those He calls.

to deliver you
God's promise to deliver Jeremiah underscores His role as a protector and savior. This deliverance is not just physical but also spiritual, ensuring that Jeremiah's mission will be accomplished despite opposition. The concept of deliverance is prevalent in the Psalms, such asPsalm 34:17, where God delivers the righteous from their troubles. This deliverance can be seen as a type of Christ, who delivers humanity from sin and death.

declares the LORD
The phrase "declares the LORD" emphasizes the authority and certainty of God's word. It is a prophetic formula used throughout the Old Testament to affirm that the message comes directly from God. This declaration assures Jeremiah and the readers of the divine origin and reliability of the promise. The authority of God's word is a foundational belief, as seen inIsaiah 55:11, where God's word is described as accomplishing what He desires.

Teaching Points

God's Presence in Fearful Situations

Courage in Obedience
Jeremiah's call required courage to speak God's truth. Believers are encouraged to be bold in their faith, knowing God is with them.

Trust in God's Sovereignty
Understanding that God is in control can help believers face opposition and uncertainty with confidence.

Faithfulness in Calling
Jeremiah's example teaches us the importance of being faithful to God's calling, regardless of the challenges we face.

Lists and Questions

Top 10 Lessons from Jeremiah 1

Jeremiah 11:18–23: How do these threats on Jeremiah’s life align with the idea of divine protection for those who follow God’s will?

Jeremiah 40:2–4 – What reasons, if any, do extra-biblical records provide for a Babylonian official treating Jeremiah favorably while others were exiled or killed?

Jeremiah 42:11-12: The text promises divine protection from Babylon; do non-biblical historical records confirm or contradict this claim?

Why does Solomon's prayer in 1 Kings 8:33-34 promise national restoration to Israel if they repent, when other biblical passages suggest God's judgment can remain despite repentance?

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(8)Be not afraid.--The words imply, as in those spoken to Ezekiel (Ezekiel 2:6), to St. Peter (Luke 5:10), and St. Paul (Acts 18:9), the fear that sprang from the sense of personal weakness and unfitness to cope with the dangers to which his work exposed him. The "faces" of his adversaries would be a source of terror to him. The consciousness that Jehovah was with him was to raise him from that timidity.
