Overview of the Book of Ezekiel Part 2
Friday, September 25
Read Ezekiel 33
Think About It:
- What does God call Ezekiel to be? What is his purpose? How does this relate to our witness/mission?
- What does God take no pleasure in? (See 2 Peter 3:9 and I Timothy 2:4.)
- What is the way of the LORD? How will He judge? God’s words of love are also God’s words of judgment.
- What six sins are found in verses 23-26?
Family Time:
- The people refused to act upon Ezekiel’s message. When people mock your witness for Christ or fail to act upon your advice, don’t give up. You are not witnessing for them alone, but out of faithfulness to God. You cannot make them accept your message. You can only be faithful in delivering the message.
- In verse 32, the people were coming to listen to Ezekiel in order to be entertained. They weren’t interested in hearing a message from the Lord and putting it into practice. Many people see church as entertainment. Have you reduced church services to be just entertainment or does your worship truly have an impact on your life?
