Homilist Jeremiah 14:8 O the hope of Israel, the savior thereof in time of trouble, why should you be as a stranger in the land… I. WHAT GOD ALWAYS IS TO TROUBLED HUMANITY. 1. The Hope. (1) The Inspirer of all true hope. (2) The Sustainer. (3) The Realiser. 2. The Saviour. (1) The redemption system He has given to the world attests this. (2) The experience of all who had attended to His directions testifies this. Every man that has adopted God's remedial scheme has been saved. II. WHAT GOD SOMETIMES SEEMS TO TROUBLED HUMANITY. "A stranger," etc. 1. When Christlike enterprises are frustrated. 2. When the most useful men are cut down in the very zenith of their life. 3. when prosperity attends the wicked, and adversity the good. 4. When enormous outrages are rampant in society. (Homilist.) Parallel Verses KJV: O the hope of Israel, the saviour thereof in time of trouble, why shouldest thou be as a stranger in the land, and as a wayfaring man that turneth aside to tarry for a night? |
