Dear friends in Christ grace and peace to you. The message for this week comes from 
Jeremiah 28:1-17.

In our reading for this week the people of Judah have been ordered to serve Nebuchnezzar, King of Babylon. The prophet Hananiah however brings a message of good news for the people of Judah as they languish in exile to Babylon. But as it turns out Hananiah is a false prophet. His message is a word of hope; the problem is it wasn’t God’s word. 

Sometimes in life we believe and hear what we want to believe and hear. We listen to voices that tell us of great things to come. Sometimes those voices are our own; sometimes they are the voices of so called leaders. Hananiah spoke words of hope, a message the people of Judah were desperate to hear. Jeremiah, the true prophet of God, spoke the truth. Jeremiah’s message wasn’t so popular likely because it was the truth and we sometimes don’t like to have the truth about ourselves staring us in the face and exposing the truth about ourselves to those around us. 
The people of Judah had wandered away from God. Jeremiah’s message to them was to turn from their sin and turn back towards God. 

As followers of Jesus we know that it is sometimes a hard row to hoe. It’s not always a popular road and it requires something of us. There are all kinds of voices urging us in a different direction. Turn on the television and in the first fifteen minutes (or less) we will see and hear about all kinds of medications and things to buy that will make our lives so great we might think this is wonderful; where do I sign up? But as we all know everything comes at a cost. Read the list of side effects, the fine print that warns us about what could possibly happen if we partake. The old adage still rings true today: if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. The only thing or person we can really trust in completely is Jesus and his word. Jesus’ word might not always be popular especially when we consider what the world teaches us but Jesus word is truth. God loves his people so much that he sent his one and only Son as a sacrifice for us, that whoever believes in him might not perish but have eternal life. This is the truth. Trust it, believe in it and live.

May the peace of God be with all of you as you listen for the voice of God speaking the truth to you.
