Jeremiah 25:2 Summary
Jeremiah 25:2 tells us that the prophet Jeremiah spoke to all the people of Judah and Jerusalem, sharing a message from God. This shows that God wants to communicate with His people, and He uses prophets like Jeremiah to do so (as seen in Deuteronomy 18:15 and Acts 3:22).

By being faithful in sharing God's word, we can be like Jeremiah, who spoke boldly to his nation, as encouraged in Ezekiel 2:1-7.
