Jeremiah 22, Jeremiah Series
The passing of Queen Elizabeth II has caused us to pause and be amazed at her reign of seventy years. She had a very consistent moral influence on others. Her speeches pointed people to God. She brought honour to her position. So, what is it that God requires of those in leadership positions? God’s standard is the same for all those in positions of leadership. Leaders influence others. Here in Jeremiah 22, we find that God spoke to the Shepherds of His people, those kings and officials who were giving direction over the land. Tremper Longman relates regarding the role of the King: “It was the king’s duty to protect those who could not protect themselves and also create a society that was harmonious for law-abiding citizens.” But what happens when those in authority flaunt and abuse their positions? Will God address these abuses? Maybe the greater question is how does He go about it?
