Ezekiel's Watchman
16At the end of seven days the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 17"Son of man, I have appointed you a watchman to the house of Israel; whenever you hear a word from My mouth, warn them from Me. 18"When I say to the wicked, 'You will surely die,' and you do not warn him or speak out to warn the wicked from his wicked way that he may live, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand.…
A watchman for the world.This passage talked about being a watchman to warn our fellow man of danger. As Christians we have to warn others of the wrath to come. We must not be afraid to do so, for if we truly love our fellow men we would never want any harm to come to them.
Some people think that tolerance is the highest virtue.Meaning in a society where people don't want to hear the Word of God ,we have to leave people the way they are and do not preach them.They say that love is to accept everyone and not to correct them.That's like saying if you see your friend driving down a road that you know for certain has a huge ditch, in the name of your love for him/her you will not warn them but will let them go in their own path lest they be offended. Well friend that is not love ,but pure hatred.
Likewise if we say that we love our brothers/sisters ,and we see them going into a path that will result in eternal destruction ,we must warn them.As Christians we must not be afraid of what society teaches, but we must stand up for the Word of God and sound the warning to our brothers and sisters.It is Satan who want us to stay silent while others perish because he hates humanity and would want all to perish.
So brothers and sisters let us not be politically correct and start sounding the warning as faithful watchmen from the Lord to a dying world.
