Take a scroll and write in it all the words that I have spoken to you against Israel and Judah.—Jer. 36:2.

 

When the time came for the contents of the scroll to be revealed, Jeremiah had to rely on his friend Baruch to deliver the message. (Jer. 36:5, 6) Baruch courageously fulfilled his dangerous assignment. Can you imagine how proud Jeremiah must have felt when Baruch went to the temple courtyard and did what he had been asked to do? (Jer. 36:8-10) The princes of Judah heard what Baruch had done, and they commanded him to read the scroll aloud to them! (Jer. 36:14, 15) The princes decided to tell King Jehoiakim what Jeremiah had said. King Jehoiakim got so angry when he heard the words written by Jeremiah that he burned the scroll and ordered the arrest of Jeremiah and Baruch. However, Jeremiah took another scroll, gave it to Baruch, and as Jeremiah dictated Jehovah’s message, Baruch wrote “all the words of the scroll that King Jehoiakim of Judah had burned in the fire.”—Jer. 36:26-28, 32. w19.11 3-4 ¶4-6

They received their judgement message and look how they respond. People will respond negatively with the judgement message in the future.

How nice is to have reliable friends.

 Baruch was a good friend. He stepped up to the plate fearlessly to do what needed to be done. How faith strengthening to Jeremiah
