Ebed-Melech: The Servant Who Saved a Prophet

By Joshua Schmidt

One small voice. One brave choice. One God who makes it matter.
When Babylon's armies surrounded Jerusalem and fear ruled the city, a quiet servant named Ebed-Melech faced an impossible decision: stay silent and protect himself, or risk everything to save God's prophet Jeremiah from certain death. His courage, rooted in faith rather than power, became part of a story far greater than he could see.
Today, that same quiet faith echoes through Nathan, a modern-day boy who chooses to stand up when mocking voices fill the hallways. His story mirrors Ebed-Melech's, showing that God still uses ordinary people who trust Him enough to act when it matters most.
