bulletFrom the Preface to the Commentary on Jeremiah, by Jerome (391-406).
bulletFrom the Geneva Notes.
bullet"Considering the great judgments of God which according to his threatening would come on the world, he was moved with a certain compassion on the one hand to pity them that would thus perish, and on the other hand by the infirmity of man's nature, knowing how hard a thing it was to enterprise such a charge."
bulletFrom Matthew Henry's Commentary.
bullet"God's message should be delivered in his own words. Whatever wordly wise men or politicians may think, the safety of kingdoms is decided according to the purpose and word of God."
bulletFrom Wesley's Notes.
bullet"Metaphors taken from architects and gardeners: either the former words relate to the enemies of God, and the latter to his friends; or rather to both conditionally: if they repent, he will build them up, he will increase their families, and settle them in the land; if they do not, he will root them up, and pull them down."
bulletFrom the Commentary on the Whole Bible (Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
bullet"Prophets are said to do that which they foretell shall be done; for their word is God's word; and His word is His instrument whereby He doeth all things (Ge 1:3; Ps 33:6, 9). Word and deed are one thing with Him. What His prophet saith is as certain as if it were done. The prophet's own consciousness was absorbed into that of God; so closely united to God did he feel himself, that Jehovah's words and deeds are described as his."

bulletLectionary Commentary, Jeremiah 1:4-10, 12th Sunday After Pentecost, (Year C), Dennis Bratcher, Christian Resource Institute.
bullet"I have heard it said that it takes a lot of faith in the future to plant an acorn. Few people who plant acorns will ever see the mature oak that it produces. Much of what we do in ministry, or simply in being Christian does not have immediate, short-range results."
bulletJeremiah 1:4-10, Proper/Epiphany 4C, Comments (commentary) and Clippings (technical notes for in-depth study), Chris Haslam, Anglican Diocese of Montreal.
bullet Jeremiah 1:4-10, Studies on Old Testament texts from Series C, Ralph W. Klein, Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago.
bullet "The Embodied Word," Pilgrim Preaching, Keeping company with biblical texts and the people who hear and preach them, a weblog for preaching, by Mary Hinkle, Luther Seminary.

bullet "The Call of Jeremiah: Human Struggle with Divine Summons," The Journey with Jesus: Notes to Myself, Daniel B. Clendenin, Journey with Jesus Foundation.
bullet"Imagine that the promises of God in Jeremiah 1:4–10 are spoken directly to you."
bullet 4 Epiphany, Year C: Jeremiah 1:4-10, Biblische Ausbildung, Dr. Stephen L. Cook, Virginia Theological Seminary. Part 2.
bullet"Read the book of Jeremiah not to become like Jeremiah in his anguish, but to see in him an interpretation of God's interrelations with God's people."
bullet Jeremiah 1:4-10, Commentary, Background, Insights from Literary Structure, Theological Message, Ways to Present the Text. Anna Grant-Henderson, Uniting Church in Australia.
bullet"The clear message from God is emphasised by the use of the strong and frequent verbs in v.5 - I formed you, I knew you, I set you apart, I appointed you."
bullet Jeremiah 1:4-10, The Old Testament Readings: Weekly Comments on the Revised Common Lectionary, Howard Wallace Audrey Schindler, Morag Logan, Paul Tonson, Lorraine Parkinson, Theological Hall of the Uniting Church, Melbourne, Australia.
bullet"Jeremiah’s call was to pull down those things which did not lead to life as well as to build up those which did, and much of what belonged to what depended on the social and historical circumstances of the time."
bullet Kairos Co-Motion Lectionary Dialogue, Jeremiah 1:4-10, Wesley White. Progressive Christian perspective, 2007.
bullet"We know what needs to be changed, now we just need to begin the formation of a change process in the wombs of our lives."
bullet Expository Essay, Jeremiah 1:4-10, Dr. William R. Long. Part 2.
bullet"This call or commissioning narrative of Jeremiah leaps off the page to us with its passion and insight, but the three points I will note are these: (1) Jeremiah--The Messenger to the Nations; (2) Jeremiah--Age is No Obstacle for God; (3) Jeremiah--Doing the Work of God."
bullet "Prophet to the Nations," Rev. Bryan Findlayson, Lectionary Bible Studies and Sermons, Pumpkin Cottage Ministry Resources.
bullet"We must carry a good-news message to those who believe and a bad-news one to those who don't. All believers are called to this end and we fulfill it in a myriad of ways."
bullet "The Call," Larry Broding's Word-Sunday.Com: A Catholic Resource for This Sunday's Gospel.
bullet"Jeremiah preached before and during the fall of Jerusalem to Babylon. According to tradition, he was exiled to Egypt and died as a martyr."
bullet"Epiphany C4 - Exegetical Notes on Jeremiah 1:4-10," Douglas MacCallum Lindsay Judisch, Concordia Theological Seminary (LCMS - Indiana).
bullet"The personal knowing of which God speaks here is, of course, much more than an intellectual knowledge, since God knows all things and all people equally in such a sense according to His divine omniscience...The reference, rather, when God knows people is to His knowing them with a divine intention which establishes a personal relationship between Him and them, whether as a corporate entity (such as Israel) or as individuals. This usage emphasizes, therefore, as is clearly true here, the absolute monergism in the initiation of any personal relationship between God and man."
bulletArticles & Background:
bullet"God's Calling: A Two-Fold Blessing," Thomas F. Fischer, Ministry Health.
bullet"Greatness--both in and outside of the church--is often based on courage."
bullet"Success and Failure: They Have the Same Problems," Thomas F. Fischer, Ministry Health.
bullet"Indeed, the greatest measure of ministry is not how successful we've been but how we've dealt with failure. Perhaps we've focused too much on the expectation of glory in ministry and not enough on the experience of what ministry really can be."
