Passage: Ezek. 33:1-33
We enter into a new section of the Book of Ezekiel, and in this chapter that outlines the turning point of the whole book, the emphasis remains on repentance and reconciliation between God and his people. When God's people come to terms with the devastating news of the fall of Jerusalem, they are left in despair, but from that place of despair, God is about to deliver messages of great hope of redemption through his faithful prophet. How will God's people be made right with God again? How will the wrongs be made right and true reconciliation achieved? The good news of Jesus Christ shows us that he who knew no sin has become sin so that we might become his righteousness. Our wrongs are made right in the sacrificial death of our Lord Jesus Christ, and even as he puts on humanity to identify with sinners, we put on his robe of righteousness to be declared just, righteous, and rectified! This is, indeed, good news!
