When the prophet Jeremiah foretold the impending bondage of the Babylonians, Israelite rulers cast him in to the dungeon mire of Malchiah. But Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, one of the servants of the king’s house, rescued Jeremiah from his prison and lifted him up with cords. In this scene, Ebed-melech’s aid comes like a shaft of light, and Jeremiah’s hands reach high as they hang onto the cords that hoist him.
“Those of established faith, who are called to bear the weight of leadership in God's kingdom, can also find their arms growing heavy and stand in need of support.”
