Lord's Day evening, in gathered worship, elder Gary Vander Plaats explained and applied Jeremiah 34. We saw how marvelous is God's grace, that though we deserve immediate and eternal condemnation, even to those who receive earthly chastisement, God gives the opportunity to confess and repent. Now that's mercy.

Whether it’s the death of a prophet or the destruction of a nation, God’s word always comes true. Not everything that sounds pleasant is necessarily true—even Jeremiah would have loved for Hananiah to be right! But alas, instead of preaching gospel, Hananiah was just blowing smoke. Not only does false preaching do its hearers no good; it actually does them harm—swapping out yokes of wood for yokes of iron. Elder Mark Fedders led us in considering this passage.

In this passage, we see God’s great sovereignty, God’s great clarity, and God’s great mercy. He is sovereign: He sets over men whomever He will and can use even the wicked to accomplish His righteous purposes. He is clear: He has given repeated announcements of His truth to combat the tempting and sweet-sounding lies of those who make counter-truth-claims. He is merciful: He tells us that the reason for His clarity is to keep us from perishing by listening to the lie instead of to His saving truth.
