Ropes and Rags
After delivering the word of the Lord, the prophet Jeremiah was unceremoniously thrown into a cistern. Waist-deep in mud, he had little hope of surviving—until Ebed-melech, a servant of the king, demonstrated boldness when he heard of Jeremiah’s predicament. Exhibiting a determined and compassionate resourcefulness, Ebed-melech led the effort to rescue God’s prophet. Alistair Begg challenges us to learn from this man’s example, urging us to be courageous in God’s service when necessity requires it.
