Jeremiah predicted ruin for the people of Israel if they opposed the invaders. So he was put into a cistern.
Jesus Christ came to Earth to preach a message calling people out on their wrongful ways and urging them to repent. This message has caused great division.
Ultimately, those who opposed His message demanded His crucifixion.
Christ was steadfast in fulfilling His message, enduring the Cross because of the joy that would come after it, as the Epistle in Hebrews writes, attaining great glory.
As we follow Christ in His mission as prophet, to proclaim a message unpopular in the world, yet grounded in Truth, we can endure our struggles and enter into the joy of what will result from advancing the Truth.
