8By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, who considered
that he was cut off out of the land of the living, stricken for the transgression of my people?
9And they made his grave with the wicked and with a rich man in his death,
although he had done no violence, and there was no deceit in his mouth.

Who in history was pierced in death? Who in history did not defend Himself when accused falsely?
Who in history was rejected by his own people, in spite of healing the sick? Who in history was buried in
the tomb of a rich man? Who in all history is said to have died for the sins of all men? Who in history
was the Lamb of God, the One sacrificed for sin? The obvious answer is Jesus Christ!

Then share with them the Good News of the Gospel. Perhaps the Holy Spirit will help them see that
their Messiah has already come and been rejected. Perhaps they will see their need for a Savior.

Jeremiah

Jeremiah means ‘YHWH is exalted’ (lineage-Anatoth, life-unmarried, relation to
nation/God)

Date/Setting: 627-586 B.C. and beyond; Babylon’s rise, Judah’s demise

Theme(s): Confront (1-10), Covenant (11-33), Captivity (34-52)

Message: Jeremiah confronts Judah’s sin (1-10), contrasts their broken covenant and coming judgment
with a new covenant and future restoration (11-33), and concludes with the details of Judah’s captivity
for their continued rejection of God’s commands (34-52).

Brief Summary: The Book of Jeremiah is primarily a message of judgment on Judah for rampant idolatry
(Jeremiah 7:30-34; 16:10-13; 22:9; 32:29; 44:2-3). After the death of King Josiah, the last righteous king,
the nation of Judah had almost completely abandoned God and His commandments. Jeremiah
compares Judah to a prostitute (Jeremiah 2:20; 3:1-3). God had promised that He would judge idolatry
most severely (Leviticus 26:31-33; Deuteronomy 28:49-68), and Jeremiah was warning Judah that God’s
judgment was at hand. God had delivered Judah from destruction on countless occasions, but His mercy
was at its end. Jeremiah records King Nebuchadnezzar conquering Judah and making it subject to him
