THERE IS STILL HOPE

4^TH ,JUNE 2022

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Chronicles 12-15

TEXT: Ezekiel 16:53-63

53 “When I bring back their captives, the captives of Sodom and her daughters, and the captives of Samaria and her daughters, then I will also bring back the captives of your captivity among them,

54 that you may bear your own shame and be disgraced by all that you did when you comforted them. 

55 When your sisters, Sodom and her daughters, return to their former state, and Samaria and her daughters return to their former state, then you and your daughters will return to your former state. 

56 For your sister Sodom was not a byword in your mouth in the days of your pride, 

57 before your wickedness was uncovered. It was like the time of the reproach of the daughters of Syria and all those around her, and of the daughters of the Philistines, who despise you everywhere. 

58 You have paid for your lewdness and your abominations,” says the Lord. 

59 For thus says the Lord God: “I will deal with you as you have done, who despised the oath by breaking the covenant.

60 “Nevertheless I will remember My covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish an everlasting covenant with you. 

61 Then you will remember your ways and be ashamed, when you receive your older and your younger sisters; for I will give them to you for daughters, but not because of My covenant with you. 

62 And I will establish My covenant with you. Then you shall know that I am the Lord, 

63 that you may remember and be ashamed, and never open your mouth anymore because of your shame, when I provide you an atonement for all you have done,” says the Lord God.’ ”

Ezekiel 16:60

“Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish unto thee an everlasting covenant."

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

“Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.”

THE MESSAGE:

The thief on the cross alongside Jesus was one of the most fortunate people that have ever lived on earth. He never worshipped God. He was a threat to the society and lived exclusively on crime. He was sentenced to death with his partner-in-crime, for an offence they committed. Fortunately, their day of execution coincided with the day Jesus was being crucified. Right at the point of death, he received pardon and secured a place of eternal peace.

In our text, there was a message of hope in sad story of betrayal. The people were going into captivity because of their idolatry. They would be returned to the land, not as an independent nation, but only as an identifiable people, the Israel of God. Ezekiel concludes the allegory with a message of new covenant. Although God is angry with the wicked, He is always ready to receive a sinner or backslider who chooses to return to the fold.

God’s covenant blessings are for all who choose to amend their ways. He is calling the sinner and backslider to come to Him for restoration. There is no hopeless case that God cannot fix. All He wants is your heart. If you will, like the thief on the cross, repent of your sins and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, you will earn for yourself an eternal abode in heaven.
