Lets Look at the Book, not the Person (for the time being)

Jeremiah is both the name of a person and the name of a book. This blog is named after the person, but its focus over the next months/years will be on JBH's Book. It is the largest book in the Bible (going by number of words in the original languages). And it is among the most neglected.

I often think of Jesus' strange words, "Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces." Mat. 7:6 NKJ

What do these words of Jesus have to do with the book of Jeremiah? There are some holy, valuable pearls that the Lord chose to implant in this largest and most difficult of books in the Bible. They are things closest to His holy heart, and he doesn't want them trampled on by casual, uncommitted followers. It takes work to see and learn the best of things in God's word.

True knowledge of God comes at a cost, is it a cost you are willing to pay?
