Jeremiah the Prophet
Called before his birth
Jeremiah lived
in Jerusalem when he was young.
One day the Lord came to Jeremiah
and called him to be a prophet.
The Lord told Jeremiah that he was
chosen to be a prophet before he was born.
The Lord knew that Jeremiah’s life
would be hard.
But He promised Jeremiah that He
would always be with him.
The people in Jerusalem did not
keep their promises with the Lord.
Because of their wickedness,
Jeremiah warned the people that they would be
conquered.
The Lord said that if they kept
the Sabbath day holy, the city of Jerusalem would not be destroyed.
But the people did not listen.
Jeremiah taught the people for
many years.
But they did not repent.
Instead, they hurt Jeremiah and
threw him in prison.
Jeremiah loved the people.
He cried because of their sins.
Just like he said, Jerusalem was destroyed,
and the people were captured.
Jeremiah was taken to Egypt.
The Lord told him to write down
his prophecies.
Jeremiah obeyed the Lord even when
things were hard.
He continued to tell his people to
keep their promises with
the Lord.
