LISTEN TO JESUS AND THE PROPHETS Prophets have always had a tough row to hoe. Their words, o en unwelcome, are used against them to persecute and even kill them. Such was the fate of the Old Testament prophets, and Jeremiah is a great example of this. Jesus endured opposi on from sinners, and did not turn back from a shameful death in order to rise to a glorious new life. The ul mate prophet, Jesus sought to warn the people of his me and ours of the divisions that his words would cause, showing himself to be the prophet of all me. We all need to look at our divisions and dilemmas in light of Jesus’ teachings and warnings, and seek to understand all that he has pro-claimed and taught about what will happen if we fail to listen.
