Series : God's Ambassadors / 6 Sermon : I Will Require His Blood At Your Hand
Ezekiel 3: 17-27 WEB
1) You Are A Watchmen
A) Hear
B) Warn
17 “Son of man, I have made you a watchman to the house of Israel. Therefore hear the word from my mouth, and warn them from me.
2 Corinthians 5:20 NHEB-ME
We are therefore ambassadors on behalf of Messiah, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Messiah, be reconciled to God.
2) Speak God's Warnings
A) The Watchmans Disobedience brings consequences
B) The Watchmans Obedience brings personal deliverance
18 When I tell the wicked, ‘You will surely die;’ and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; that wicked man will die in his iniquity; but I will require his blood at your hand.
19 Yet if you warn the wicked, and he doesn’t turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he will die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.”
20 “Again, when a righteous man turns from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he will die. Because you have not given him warning, he will die in his sin, and his righteous deeds which he has done will not be remembered; but I will require his blood at your hand.
21 Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man, that the righteous not sin, and he does not sin, he will surely live, because he took warning; and you have delivered your soul.”
James 5:19-20 WEB
19 Brothers, if any among you wanders from the truth and someone turns him back,
20 let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.
3) Time Alone With YaHuWaH
22 YaHuWaH’s hand was there on me; and he said to me, “Arise, go out into the plain, and I will talk with you there.”
23 Then I arose, and went out into the plain, and behold, YaHuWaH’s glory stood there, like the glory which I saw by the river Chebar. Then I fell on my face.
24 Then the Spirit entered into me, and set me on my feet. He spoke with me, and said to me, “Go, shut yourself inside your house.
25 But you, son of man, behold, they will put ropes on you, and will bind you with them, and you will not go out among them.
26 I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth, that you will be mute, and will not be able to correct them; for they are a rebellious house.
4) Ambassadors allow YaHuWaH to speak through you
27 But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you shall tell them, ‘This is what the Lord YaHuWaH says.’ He who hears, let him hear; and he who refuses, let him refuse; for they are a rebellious house.”
2 Corinthians 5:20 NHEB-ME
We are therefore ambassadors on behalf of Messiah, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Messiah, be reconciled to God.
Jude WEB
17 But you, beloved, remember the words which have been spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ.
18 They said to you, “In the last time there will be mockers, walking after their own ungodly lusts.”
19 These are those who cause divisions and are sensual, not having the Spirit.
20 But you, beloved, keep building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit.
21 Keep yourselves in God’s love, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Chrt to eternal life.
22 On some have compassion, making a distinction,
23 and some save, snatching them out of the fire with fear, hating even the clothing stained by the flesh.
24 Now to him who is able to keep them from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory in great joy,
25 to God our Savior, who alone is wise, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen.
