Sermon On The Mount Part 19

The Book of Lamentations:
• Jeremiah is the Author 
• Written after the siege and destruction of Jerusalem in 587BC
• Includes deep grief over human suffering, confession of sin, cry for relief, and a glimpse of hope

Lamentations is written in poetic form:
• Long line followed by short line 
• Metaphors 
• Tragic reversals 
• Acrostics following the Hebrew Alphabet 

Why do we need a book about weeping?
• Because we are emotional people and we shouldn’t ignore deep grief 
• Because we need to know how to grieve without becoming hopeless

Jeremiah’s Comfort Came From:
• God’s unchangeable traits of mercy and compassion 
• God’s Word that though He punish He will not consume
• God Himself as his sufficient portion 

Jeremiah saw the benefits of suffering
• It’s good to be forced to quietly wait on the Lord
• Its good to be forced to find hope in the Lord
• Its good to bear the yoke in our youth

Jeremiah learned that suffering never lasts forever, God always ends with mercy
