A Better Prophet: Jeremiah was a type of Christ in that he underwent a death and resurrection when he was thrown into a pit and brought out. He was a Prophet of sorrow and acquainted with grief. Jesus is the Man of Sorrows and acquainted with grief who was thrown into the pit of God’s wrath and then brought out in the resurrection. As was true of Joseph and Isaiah before Him, the principle of sufferings and glory surround the stories of this prophet.
