Yesterday we taught our Sunday School lesson on the book of Jeremiah. I'm not going to post all my notes but here are a few highlights. The prophets Jeremiah and Lehi were contemporaries preaching repentance to the people in Jerusalem in the early 600s BC.
Lehi was commanded to leave Jerusalem with his family and sail across to the Americas (around 600 BC). Their story is contained in The Book of Mormon. Jeremiah was to remain in Jerusalem and continued preaching repentance to the people. Jeremiah is the only prophet who was in Jerusalem before, during, and after the destruction of Jerusalem by the Babylonians in 587 BC.
Some of the doctrines that Jeremiah taught that we talked about in our lesson yesterday include: pre-mortal existence (Jeremiah 1:5), foreordination, Jesus being living waters, trust in the Lord, the gathering of Israel (missionary work, bringing people to Christ), Sabbath day, potters clay (being clay in the Lord's hands), fire in the bones (desires to serve God).
Our handout was a succulent plant with quotes from Jeremiah.
