I was just talking to a friend yesterday about the book of Ezekiel, and I mentioned how the prophecy that God spoke through Ezekiel contains some of the most powerful gospel images for me. We read chapters 16 and 36 together, and concentrated on the following verses. I've been meditating on them a bit since then...
36:25-27
"I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean from all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols I will cleanse you.
And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.
And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules."
36:32
"It is not for your sake that I will act," declares the Lord GOD, "let that be known to you. Be ashamed and confounded for your ways, O house of Israel."
