EZEKIEL 2
2 Outlines
Ezekiel 2:1-3:4
CALLED!
To me, the greatest
privilege in the world is to be called to preach God's Word!
Ezekiel's call to preach
should be a challenge to anyone who hears God calling him into ministry!
RECRUITMENT OF EZEKIEL -
2:1-3
In Ezekiel 1, Ezekiel
saw a great vision of the glory of God.
He was reminded as to
whom he would be serving.
Isaiah also had a vision
of God's glory in Isaiah 6:1-4.
Those called to preach
must see God in His glory and must have experienced salvation for themselves.
In these verses, God singles out Ezekiel as one who would be God's
representative. There is no higher
calling than the calling to preach!
Romans 10:15
REBELLION OF
All preachers like to
see positive results from their preaching. However, the preacher does not
always see positive results. Often, people will rebel against the message. Even though the preacher may not see the
positive results, he can be assured of a positive outcome. Isaiah 55:10-11,
Ezekiel 3:17-21, 1 Timothy 4:11-16
REASSURANCE FROM GOD -
2:5
No matter what the
response to the preaching of God's Word, the preacher who is doing God's will
can be assured that those hearing will know that he is a messenger from God.
