In this Commentary Clip, Tony discusses the struggles experienced by the Prophet Jeremiah as the result of proclaiming the Word of God to the people, both psychologically and at the hands of others. As he explains, Jeremiah exemplifies what a life truly in love with God looks like. For despite the many trials he faces and whatever it may cost him personally, Jeremiah will not stop speaking God’s Word to the people.
