SERMON DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
- Read Jeremiah 23:1-8. What words and phrases stand out to you, and why? What thoughts come to mind when the word shepherd is used in this text?
- How are the characteristics of the shepherds and false prophets in this chapter similar today and how does God’s rebuke apply today?
- Discuss the implication of the name given to the future King, “The LORD is our righteousness”? What would it have meant specifically to these people about to go into exile? Who do we know this King to be? What does that mean for you personally? Please be specific and personal in your answer.
- No specifics are given here about the King that reigns in ‘justice and righteousness’ (verse 5), but how do we see those specifics played out in Christ and what are the implications, then, for those that call themselves Christians?
- What does this prophecy mean for you specifically as you live today and as you look toward the future?
