Key Words: And ye shall know that I am the LORD
Time and space will not allow us to tell everything there is to know about this prophet of God; but his life is a demonstration of what we are to be.
First of all, he was an exile (Ezekiel 1:1) just as we are exiles (I Peter 2:11).
He was an ambassador (Ezekiel 2:3) as we are ambassadors (Ephesians 6:20).
He was a watchman (Ezekiel 3:17); pastors are God’s watchmen (Hebrews 13:17).
We recently purchased a new copier, but before we bought the copier we wanted to make sure it would do all we wanted and needed it to do. So the salesman had a copier brought over and proceeded to show us all “his” copier was capable of doing. After watching his demonstration, we were convinced the copier would meet our needs.
As I read the book of Ezekiel and see how God met the needs of Ezekiel, I am convinced that God can meet my needs as well. Ezekiel is surely a demonstration of all that God can and will do.
What to do:
✞ We should all realize that we are exiles, and that this world is not our home. As a result, we should be extended watchmen for the glory of God.
