God's Witness
Jeremiah 1:17
You therefore gird up your loins, and arise, and speak to them all that I command you: be not dismayed at their faces…


I.  Must be QUICK.

II.  BUSY.

III.  BOLD.

IV.  FAITHFUL. For —

1. He must speak all that he is charged with.

2. He must speak to all that he is charged against.

(1)  Because he has reason to fear the wrath of God if he should be false.

(2)  Because he has no reason to fear the wrath of man if he is faithful.

( M. Henry, D. D.)
