Ezekiel 7:1–9:11 · Hebrews 5:1–14 · Psalm 105:1–15 · Proverbs 26:28
Today’s story
Judgment approaches because violence and idolatry have filled the land. Ezekiel sees the glory of God and the seriousness of persistent rebellion.
Jesus is the appointed High Priest who sympathizes with human weakness, yet believers are urged to grow toward maturity.
Remember God's covenant faithfulness.
Flattery is dangerous because it manipulates rather than loves.
The story in children’s words
Ezekiel told the people that the end had come for their land because of all their sin. God lifted Ezekiel up in a vision and showed him Jerusalem. He saw people in the temple worshiping idols in secret and bowing down to the sun instead of to God. It made God very sad, because the temple was His own holy house. But God sent a man in white linen to put a mark on the foreheads of the people who cried over all the sin. Those who were sorry would be kept safe. The psalm sings, "Give thanks to the LORD, and remember all the wonderful things He has done." The letter to the Hebrews says Jesus was called by God to be a High Priest forever, and He cried and prayed and obeyed God even when it was hard. Jesus saves all who obey Him, and He is the forever Priest God promised.
It points to Jesus
Human priests are limited; Jesus is the perfect Priest who carries us before the Father.
