 you're listening to the sunday sermon on through the bible with our teacher dr j vernon mcgee who titled his message jeremiah god's crybaby now calling someone a crybaby sounds kind of harsh but dr mcgee wasn't insulting jeremiah rather he thought that the prophet was quite remarkable jeremiah was called by god to do an impossible task god wanted jeremiah to be a spokesperson warning the people of his nation that if they didn't turn around they were headed for a catastrophe
