Now that summer has ended, I find myself wondering about my favorite season. Autumn has been less “fall” and more summer here in Alabama. I am usually excited about the brisk cool air and changing leaves. It is this time of year that I enjoy sitting by the fire with a good book while holding my coffee mug. The other day, I stood outside in the heat and noticed my autumn pumpkin had not survived the peculiar weather. I am used to the changing of the seasons, but not used to the seasons themselves changing. This year it is just as true as ever: Seasons change, but God does not. Before long the need to sit by the fire will be upon us. Because of this, I am re- minded of another fire that Jehoiakim (king of Judah) sat by, warming himself with strips of paper from a scroll. “It was the ninth month, and the king was sitting in the winter house, and there was a fire burning in the fire pot before him. As Jehudi read three or four columns, the king would cut them off with a knife and throw them into the fire in the fire pot, until the entire scroll was consumed in the fire that was in the fire pot” (Jeremiah 36:22-23). The scroll that Jehoiakim turned into kindling was the word of the Lord. “In the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the Lord: “Take a scroll and write on it all the words that I have spoken to you against Israel and Judah and all the nations, from the day I spoke to you, from the days of Josiah until today (Jeremiah 36:1-2). Ironically, the word of the Lord was about the de- struction of Judah by fire. God gave Jeremiah the reason for this scroll: “It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the disaster that I intend to do to them, so that everyone may turn from his evil way, and that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin” (Jeremiah 36:3). God did not desire to destroy them by fire. He desired that all of the people would repent. Jehoiakim placed himself above God and sought to hide God’s saving message from the people. Today we understand that fire is waiting for all who do not repent. This fire is unlike the fire in a calm fireplace that warms us in the winter. It will consume those who disobey and for eternity. Yet there are some who refuse to send out this message, who may seek to hide it just like Jehoiakim. What does the word say? “But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist are stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly” (2 Peter 3:7). May we never take the words of the Lord lightly, nor seek to be warmed by them like Jehoiakim in dis- obedience. Seasons change, but God does not. A note from the Harp

Vine the word pistos (faith or faithful) is used in the New Testament of one who is “to be trusted, reliable.” It is an attribute that applies both to God and to man. It implies loyalty; one who is worthy of trust. It is a quality to be admired and de- sired. John Ruskin said of this quality, it is “The no- blest word in the catalogue of social virtues.” It is the one thing that is demanded of a servant and a soldier. In Revelation 19 John saw heaven opened and he saw Jesus. In his description of what he saw John said, “Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war” (19:11). Jesus is the Faithful and True! In this series of articles we want to discuss the loyalty of Je- sus to God, to God’s word and to His disciples. God had entrusted to His Son a work to accomplish. God sent His Son with a specific work to be done. Jesus explained that He was sent by His Father. “Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and came from God; nor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me” (Jn. 8:42). That work is spoken of again and again in the gospel of John. “For God did not send His Son into the world to con- demn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved” (Jn. 3:17). “I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work” (Jn. 9:4). The work Jesus was given to do was one of redemption. “But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons” (Gal. 4:4, 5). Paul spoke of this work in his letter to Titus 2:14 – “who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works.” The idea of redemption in the Old Testament takes its start from the thought of property. From this start the word "redemption" throughout the Old Testament is used in the general sense of deliverance. God is the Re- deemer of Israel in the sense that He is the Deliverer of Israel. In the New Testament the idea of redemption has more a suggestion of ransom. Men are held under the curse of the law (Ga 3:13), or of sin itself (Ro 7:23 f). The Redeemer purchases their deliverance by of- fering Himself as payment for their redemp- tion” (ISBE). In the gospel of Mark Jesus acknowl- edged that this was His work. In rebuking James and John who were arguing over who would have the ideal seats in the kingdom, Jesus said, “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many” (Mk. 10:45). To ransom means “to deliver a thing or person by paying the price for which it is held captive.” New Phone directories are in the foyer. Please pick one up. Two or three per family please.
