The prophet Jeremiah said: \\u201cIndeed. May the Lord do just as you have said! May the Lord fulfill the words that you have prophesied and bring back from Babylon the equipment of the Lord\\u2019s temple and all the exiles to this place. However, listen closely to what I have to say to you and all the people: The prophets who came before you and me long ago prophesied war, disaster, and disease against many lands and great kingdoms. So the prophet who prophesies peace is recognized as one who is actually sent by the Lord only when that prophet\\u2019s message is fulfilled.\\u201d\\nMatthew 10:40-42\\n\\u201cThose who receive you are also receiving me, and those who receive me are receiving the one who sent me. Those who receive a prophet as a prophet will receive a prophet\\u2019s reward. Those who receive a righteous person as a righteous person will receive a righteous person\\u2019s reward. I assure you that everybody who gives even a cup of cold water to these little ones because they are my disciples will certainly be rewarded.\\u201d\\n\\n \\nPhoto by\\xa0Robert Koorenny\\nThe post Responding To The Call – Jeremiah 28:5-9 & Matthew 10:40-42 appeared first on Queer Theology.'
