In the days of Jehoiakim the Lord charged Jeremiah to bring the Recha.. - bites into the honse of the Lord and test them regarding the drinking of wine. This he did in a place-where the people might behold them, the aim being to teach Israel by example. The father of the kechabites had given command { that they should not drink wine. Their j filial nhorMpnfva mit tn shame the Is- i raelltes for their lack of obedience. ; Jonadab. the father of the Rechabites, was only a man, but the one whose commands Israel were disregarding was the Almighty God, their Creator fljad Savior. It is God's plan that every man be tested. Being a free agent he only can have character through testing. It was for this reason that God placed Adam and Eve in Eden and permitted the devil to test them. While "v we should be concerned with the rel moval of temptations from men, we should be more concerned with teaching them their responsibility and showing them how to overcome. II. The Filial Loyalty of the Rechabites (vv. 6-11). Though they were out of their own j country, in the midst of a foreign peo- ; pie, they refused to drink wine, declar- j ing that they had been true to the in- j struction of Jonadab all their lives, j Obedience to his instructions had been j practiced by all men, women and chil- j dren. It is a fine thing when children | keep in memory their fathers and render obedience to their commands. III. The Loyalty of the Rechabites in j Contract With the Disloyalty of the 1 Israelites (vv. 12-16). 1. The appeal (vv. 13, 14). He made ! the appeal on the basis of the filial j loyalty of the Rechabites. He remind- | ed them that the Rechabites were obe- j dient, though their father was dead long ago. He also reminded them that j he had spoken to them in person, rising f up early to do so. 2. The ministry of the prophets (vv. ;' 15.16).. When the people failed to render obedience to God he sent to thero ; the prophets, who with them to : amend their ways by turning awaj from thpir idols. Matthew Henry indicates the points of contrast somewhat as follows: (1) The Rechabites were obedient to one who was but a man; the Jews disobeyed the infinite and eternal God. (2) ibnadab was dead Inner cinrA nnd ronld not know of their ? ~ - I disloyalty or correct them from it. God is all-wise and lives forever and will punish for disobedience. (3) The Rechabites were never put in mind of their obligations, but God sent his prophets who rose up early to remind them. (4) Jonadab left the charge, but no estate ; to bear the charge; but God gave the people a goodly land and blessed ;h<em in it. (5) God never tied up his people to any hard task like Jonadab did, yet I God's people disobeyed him and the ; Rechabites-obeyed their father. * IV. Judgment Upon the Jews for Disobedience (v. 17). G-od declared that he would bring judgment upon them according to what j he had said. Judgment is determined j upon those who disobey and rebel ' against God. V. Reward of the Rechabites for Their Loyalty (w. 18, 19). Because they had been true to the ! commands of Jonadab they should j have continued representation before | God. God has such regard for filial j obedience that he lets no act go unre- j warded. ? God Knows His Own. The church must keep herself pure. Neither false doctrine, nor false life, ; is allowable. The searching eyes of j God see every corner of his dwelling- I place. Nothing is hidden from his ; I "The Lord knoweth them IOCU.1VX*. - ? ( that are his, and them that are not his cannot deceive him. So,' "let everyone that nameth the name of Christ, depart from iniquity." The Miracle of Divine Grace. The miracle of divine grace is too ; great for our understanding. The most dreadful thing about sin is the terrible feeling that the sinner can never again be as though that sin had never been. ?Rev.
