Is being a watchmen a burden or a privilege? In the last part of chapter 3 God describes to Ezekiel how he is to act as the watchman for Judah and Israel. It would be honorable to know that God will judge people for their actions, and to have the privilege to warn a transgressor about the coming judgment. But what a burden when someone rejects the warning. The truth can be a heavy weight on us as we encounter people who persistently reject it. Not because it is not true but because of the stubborn hearts that refuse to receive the truth. I’m sure that there have been times when I have rejected the watchmen’s warning. I am thankful that God in his grace has redeemed me from my stubborn heart.
It took me about 15 minutes to read this passage.
