  • A New Life
    Feb 4 2025
    Ezekiel – whose name means “God strengthens” – lives out his prophetic ministry among God’s people while they are exiled in Babylon. Ezekiel’s vision likens the Israelites in captivity to very dead, very dry bones. The Spirit of the LORD asks him, “Son of man, can these bones live?” Then the Spirit tells Ezekiel to speak the word of the LORD upon them, and when he does, this valley of dead, dry bones comes back to full life, meaning God will revive His captive children and bring them back to live in the promised land. Ezekiel’s vision looks past their Judean resettlement and incorporates all His children dead and alive, for the LORD God promises: “Behold, I will open your graves and raise you from your graves; O My people…and you shall know that I am YHWH, when I open your graves and raise you from your graves, O My people” (vv12-13). Begun on Pentecost through spiritual resurrection, the Holy Spirit will bring this vision to fullness on the day when Jesus returns.

  • A New Heart
    Jan 27 2025
    So far, Ezekiel’s focus on God’s work of restoration has been externally focused (i.e., new shepherd, new covenant). In Ezekiel 36, God’s work of making “all things new” encompasses the internal too. What God’s people in Babylon really need is a new heart! True transformation happens only by divine intervention from the inside-out. Through His Spirit, God promises His people heart surgery – removing their hard, unbelieving stone-like hearts and implanting a soft, pliable believing heart. Not only will His Spirit complete the procedure, but He will indwell God’s people and lead them to walk in obedience to His words and ways. Jesus connects this divine procedure to baptism in John 3.

  • A New Covenant
    Jan 21 2025
    God says, “I will cut with them a covenant of peace.” (Ezekiel 34:25) What does that mean? A covenant in the OT was not an impersonal contract, informal agreement, or word-of-mouth handshake; rather, covenants were cut and binded two sides via animal blood. With His persistently rebellious people, God promises a covenant of peace (shalom). Peace is not simply an absence of conflict; peace means wholeness, safety, and security. In Jesus, God cut a covenant of peace with Him via Jesus’ blood. In Him we are whole, safe, and secure.
