Ezekiel 3:16-4:17; Jeremiah 27:1-28:17, 51:59-64
Ezekiel and Jeremiah prophesied at the same time but in different locations. Jeremiah was with the remnant in Judah, while Ezekiel was among the exiles in Babylon. Despite their different locations they both played a key role in communicating God's truth. This calling was so critical that God told Ezekiel, if he failed to communicate God's message, he would be held "accountable” (Ezekiel 3:18). God had chosen to make his will known through his prophets, and if they failed to do their job, then no one would know God’s truth.
Though we are probably not prophets, we similarly have a responsibility to be God's ambassadors to our world. We have a calling to spread the message of Jesus, and if we fail to fulfill this calling, then we are doing nothing less than sinning. If we are sinning, then we will be held accountable. God has chosen to make himself known through his church; therefore, it is up to us to share God's truth with our world. We are sent to be disciples who make disciples. We all have the same mission but different locations, so be faithful where you have been placed.
Father God, help me to make you known. Help me to share what Christ has done with those you place in my path today, and to be a disciple who makes disciples. Amen.
How seriously do you take your calling to make Jesus known?
