The Prophet's Call and Consecration
Jeremiah 1:4-10
Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,…


I. THE CALL OF JEHOVAH. Not the product of a reflective musing, nor the result of an inward impulse, but a supernatural Divine revelation, an inspiration, a voice from without.

II. HIS DIVINE CONSECRATION. He felt the hand of the Lord touch him: a palpable pledge of His support. Touching his mouth meant endowment. Equipment and qualification for God's work must be from God.

III. SIGNS WHICH UNVEIL HIS MISSION. These he saw in spirit, God interpreted them to him as confirmatory tokens of his Divine commission.

IV. SUPERNATURAL ASSURANCES OF HELP. God will furnish strength, will make him valiant and impregnable.

(C. F. Keil.)
