Ezekiel 3

Feb 9, 2025    Pastor Clarence Hardin

In Ezekiel 3, we're reminded of the weighty responsibility that comes with being God's messenger. The central theme revolves around Ezekiel's commissioning as a watchman for Israel, tasked with delivering God's word whether the people listen or not. This narrative challenges us to consider our own role in sharing God's truth, even when it's uncomfortable or unwelcome. Ezekiel eating the scroll symbolizes internalizing God's message before sharing it - a reminder that we must first embody the truth we proclaim. As we reflect on Ezekiel's initial reluctance and God's insistence, we're prompted to examine our own hesitations in speaking truth to those around us. Are we willing to be God's voice, even when it might cost us relationships or comfort? This message urges us to embrace our role as modern-day watchmen, always ready to speak God's truth with love and conviction, trusting in His strength rather than our own abilities or others' reactions.
