Jeremiah 40-42

God's word, faithfully spoken, is powerful to convince and convict people. But when we become accustomed to the perverted versions of God's word we become desensitized to that which is really his word. Jeremiah spoke God's word persistently and accurately. But too many of the people in Judah preferred their "version" of God's truth. So they persisted in their rejection of Jeremiah's message. Though he repeated God's call for repentance their hearts remained hard. Nebuzaradan apparently heard Jeremiah's message as well. God didn't record how he heard it, or how many times he listened. But his words to Jeremiah in 40:2-3 indicate that he harmonized God's message with the events that unfolded and had some level of faith. I wonder which message of Jeremiah Nebuzaradan heard.
