In this lesson, Stephen Davey explains how Jeremiah’s life became a living illustration of coming judgment as God commanded him to remain unmarried and avoid celebrations, signaling Judah’s impending devastation. Though judgment was certain, God still offered individual hope, warning that the heart is deceitful and calling people to trust Him rather than themselves. Through the object lessons of the potter’s wheel and the shattered flask, Jeremiah declared God’s sovereign right to shape or break a rebellious nation. When mocked, beaten, and imprisoned, Jeremiah courageously proclaimed God’s truth but privately wrestled with deep discouragement and sorrow. Davey concludes that even in rejection and confusion, believers remain in the Potter’s hands, where God faithfully shapes their lives according to His sovereign purposes.
