耶利米书 第五章 |Book of Jeremiah 5【你的结局要怎样行？】
引言：人生如同一部电影
一、百姓的罪恶与背道（V1-9）
神通过耶利米发出强烈的指控，指出耶路撒冷的罪恶和背道。神指示耶利米走遍耶路撒冷的街道，寻找一个行公义、求诚实的人。但遍寻城中，甚至无法找到一人。人民的罪恶与背离神的情形极为严重，神的子民已经完全偏离了神的道。这里显示了神对百姓堕落的痛心。
这段经文提醒我们，罪恶不仅是个人的，也是集体的。当整个社会集体背离神的标准时，最终将带来神的审判。所以，我们不能因社会的普遍堕落，而妥协真理的教导和价值观。社会的堕落，不应该成为我们堕落的借口，反而是应该成为我们更加坚持做对事情的理由！
二、执意不悔改的结果（V10-19）
在这一段经文中，神继续通过耶利米警告百姓，执意不悔改将导致严重的后果，即将到来的毁灭。虽然神宣告毁灭，却留有余地，允许一部分人幸存。但人民虽被神一再警告，却仍旧硬心不悔改，终将自食恶果，除非人回转向神。
这段经文提醒我们，拒绝悔改的后果是可怕的，神虽然满有耐心，但不是无限的。当我们一次次拒绝神的引导和警告时，最终会迎来无法挽回的审判。
三、神必讨罪 公义审判（V20-29）
这一段经文集中讨论神的审判，强调神是公义的，祂的审判是出于人类的恶行和对祂的回应。尽管神是慈爱的，但祂的公义要求罪必受罚。人民因不敬畏神、不行公义而招致神的审判。
神的审判就像一位公平的裁判，祂不会因任何人的辩解或拒绝承认错误而动摇。任何试图逃避或忽视神的公义审判，最终都无法改变神的判决。我们需要在生活中行公义，敬畏神，以免遭受神的公义审判！
四、最后呼吁 悔改有路（V30-31）
这一段经文是神对百姓的最后呼吁。耶利米问道：到了结局，你们怎样行呢呢？这句话是对以色列的严肃警告，促使他们反思自己的行为，并考虑最终的结局。神仍旧给出最后的机会，若能悔转向神，神仍愿意赦免。
神总是给予我们悔改的机会。如果我们抓住机会，回转向神，就不会继续在虚假和误导中沉沦，而是走向更好的结局。
总结：最终结局取决于今天的决定
今天，神依然给我们机会悔改；你是否愿意在神面前谦卑，寻求祂的赦免和出路？ 我们的结局如何，取决于我们今天的决定！

The Morning Devotion Speaker: Ps Daniel
Introduction: Life is like a movie
1. The sins and apostasy of the people (V1-9)
God issued a strong accusation through Jeremiah, pointing out the sin and apostasy of Jerusalem. God instructed Jeremiah to walk through the streets of Jerusalem looking for a man who would do righteousness and seek truth. But he searched the city and couldn't find anyone. The people's sin and deviation from God are extremely serious, and God's people have completely strayed from God's way. This shows God’s heartache over the fall of the people.
This passage reminds us that sin is not only personal but also collective. When an entire society collectively deviates from God's standards, it will ultimately bring about God's judgment. Therefore, we cannot compromise the teachings of truth and values because of the general depravity of society. The degradation of society should not be an excuse for our degradation but should be a reason for us to persist in doing the right things!
2. The consequences of insisting on not repenting (V10-19)
In this passage, God continues to warn the people through Jeremiah that failure to repent will lead to serious consequences and impending destruction. Although God declared destruction, he left room to allow some people to survive. However, although the people have been warned repeatedly by God, they still remain hard-hearted and do not repent, and they will eventually suffer the consequences unless they turn back to God.
This passage reminds us that the consequences of refusing to repent are dire and that although God is patient, He is not infinite. When we reject God’s guidance and warnings again and again, we will eventually face irreversible judgment.
3. God will punish sins and judge righteously (V20-29)
This passage focuses on God’s judgment, emphasizing that God is righteous and that His judgment is based on mankind’s evil deeds and responses to Him. Although God is loving, His justice requires that sin be punished. The people incurred God's judgment because they did not fear God and did not act righteously.
God’s judgment is like a fair judge who will not be swayed by anyone’s excuses or refusal to admit fault. Any attempt to escape or ignore God’s righteous judgment will not change God’s judgment. We need to do justice in our lives and fear God to avoid suffering God’s righteous judgment!
4. Final appeal: There is a way to repent (V30-31)
This passage is God’s final appeal to the people. Jeremiah asked: What will you do when the end comes? This sentence is a serious warning to Israel, prompting them to reflect on their actions and consider the ultimate consequences. God still gives you a last chance. If you can repent and turn to God, God is still willing to forgive.
God always gives us opportunities to repent. If we seize the opportunity and turn to God, we will not continue to sink in falsehood and deception but will move towards a better ending.
Conclusion: The final outcome depends on today’s decision
Today, God still gives us the opportunity to repent; are you willing to humble yourself before God and seek His forgiveness and way out? How we end up depends on our decisions today!
