Ezekiel 17:1-24
To those who adopt a ‘rebellious’ attitude to
You, Lord, You speak Your Word of warning - They shall ‘not escape’ Your
judgment (Ezekiel 17:12,18). For those who abandon this attitude of
rebellion, there is a way of salvation. We thank You, Lord, for the
words of prophecy which looks forward to the coming of the Messiah, our
Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ . We thank You for Your promise: ‘I the
Lord have spoken, and I will do it’(Ezekiel 17:22-24). We thank You that
You have fulfilled Your promise. You have sent Your Son to be our
Saviour (Matthew1:22-23). We now await the fulfilment of prophecy
concerning Christ’s Return: ‘I will come gain’’, This same Jesus... will
come back.’, ‘The Lord Himself will come down from heaven.’We thank You
that Jesus has given us His promise - “I am coming soon.’We hear His
promise, and we say, ‘Come, Lord Jesus’ (John 14:3; Acts 1:11; 1
Thessalonians 4:16; Revelation 22:20).
Ezekiel 18:1-32
‘The
soul that sins shall die’ (Ezekiel 18:4). ‘If a man is righteous... he
shall surely live’ (Ezekiel 18:5-9) Lord, what hope is there for us? If
we look, with honesty, into our own hearts, we discover this dark truth
concerning ourselves: ‘None is righteous... All have sinned’ (Romans
3:10,23). Is there any Good News for us? Is there a way that leads to
eternal life? ‘Suppose there is a truly good man, righteous and
honest...’ (Ezekiel 18:4). Lord, is there such a man? Is there a man
concerning whom You say, ‘That man is righteous; he will surely live’
(Ezekiel 18:9). Yes! There is! Who is this man? What does Your Word tell
us about Him? He is Jesus Christ, our Saviour. He ‘died for our sins,
the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring us to God’ (1 Peter 3:18).
We put our faith in Him. He gives us ‘eternal life’. We ‘pass from death
to life’ (1 John 5:11-13; John 5:24). Thank You, Lord, for Jesus, our
great Saviour.
