Lesson 104 – Jeremiah 1–15 The Call of Jeremiah

Jeremiah in Context What is happening historically? Who are Jeremiah’s contemporaries?

Jeremiah 1:5 What is the principle here? The word “knew” is translated from the Hebrew word “yada”, which connotes a very personal, intimate relationship. Do you think the Lord knows us as well as He did Jeremiah? What does that mean for us? How can you find out what you may have been foreordained to? – Patriarchal Blessings – Prayer, fasting – Words of the Prophets What is the difference between Predestination and Foreordination?

Foreordination “Every man who has a calling to minister to the inhabitants of the world was ordained to that very purpose in the Grand Council of heaven before this world was. I suppose I was ordained to this very office in that Grand Council” (Joseph Smith, Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, sel. Joseph Fielding Smith [1976], 365). Joseph Smith Jr. Jeremiah 1:1–10

What is Jeremiah’s reaction? Jeremiah 1:6 Who had a similar reaction in the scriptures? Have you ever had a similar response? v What is the Lord’s answer to Jeremiah? – “I am with thee to deliver thee” – “I have put my words in thy mouth” – “I have this day set thee over the nations.. to pull down… and to plant.” Plant what? Is that the same answer to us?

President Monson

What was Jeremiah’s call? The Kingdom of Judah had gone downhill. – Jeremiah 2:5-8 – Jeremiah 6:10-11 – Jeremiah 9:1-3 He was trying to save a fallen people. They had been completely corrupted and beyond hope, yet Jeremiah still hoped to bring them back.

True Prophets and False Prophets What can we do to guard ourselves from false prophets today?

So what is our call? Jeremiah 16:16 – Who are the hunters and fishers?

Fishers and Hunters What are the tools needed to fish and hunt? What is the difference? How does this relate to our missionary work? We have been foreordained for this work. We may feel inadequate as Jeremiah did, but He will be with us when we are doing His work.

Notebook Ideas What are some things you feel foreordained to do/be in this life? What can you do to make sure you fulfill these opportunities? How can you overcome feelings of inadequacy or doubt in order to rise to the calling?
