Jeremiah was not a popular prophet. He didn’t tell the people what they
wanted to hear. He wasn’t concerned with gaining their approval. He was
determined to keep on speaking God’s Word – whatever the people thought
about him, said about him or did to him. The first priority is
faithfulness. We must not make relevance the be-all and end-all.
Relevance must be built on faithfulness. The two are to be held together
– faithfulness and relevance. If we do not remain faithful to God’s
Word, our words will be irrelevant. They will not be God’s Word for the
people. “Your Word is truth” (John 17:17) – This must be at the heart of
both our preaching and our living.
