The God Who Wants to Know You
Ezekiel spoke from exile, beside a Babylonian canal. His visions answer the question his first audience could not stop asking: has God abandoned us? The throne chariot arrives in that foreign place, moving with complete control, addressing people who have lost everything. God judges a rebellious nation, yet takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked. He breathes life into dry bones and gathers a divided people under one shepherd. Every vision points toward Jesus, the priest and shepherd who bore His people's punishment and rose again; hope rests not in moral effort but in turning to Him.
