| From the Geneva Notes.
 | "This declares on the one part
God's great affection toward his people, that despite their
rebellion, yet he will send his prophets among them, and admonishes
his ministers on the other part that they cease not to do their
duty, though the people are never so obstinate: for the word of God
will be either to their salvation or greater condemnation." |
|
| From
Matthew Henry's
Commentary.
| "Ezekiel is sent with a
message to the children of Israel. Many might treat his message with
contempt, yet they should know by the event that a prophet had been
sent to them. God will be glorified, and his word made honourable,
whether it be a savour of life unto life, or of death unto
death." |

which is ninety - five times, at least, used in this prophecy to
keep him humble who had such great revelations." |

| "God promises Samuel that his
words will never fall to the ground, but Ezekiel is not given that
advantage. For Ezekiel, the faithfulness lies in the telling. He is
not to measure the effectiveness of his preaching by the response of
the people. The heart of his ability to preach with integrity and
authenticity lies in his ability to take the word of God inside
himself, and to root his proclamation in the word as it transforms
him, Ezekiel, from the inside out. Do we dare to take preaching
seriously enough to allow ourselves to be changed by the word we
ingest?" |
