Talk about it together
God gave Ezekiel a vision and led him through a valley of dry bones. The bones showed how Israel had rejected him and how serious the consequences of their sin were. Apart from God, they were spiritually dead.
Ezekiel encouraged the exiles to turn back to God in hope and faith. God showed him his power to make people alive again. He was offering his people life and the restoration of their future.
God offers the same thing to us. We too are like the dry bones, dead in our sin and separated from him. But this is not what God intended. He chose to be with his people through his Son, Jesus Christ, hundreds of years after Ezekiel’s time. Immanuel means “God with us.” Jesus is the one true source of life. He brings life to those who are spiritually dead. God saves us by grace and makes us alive with Christ.
Jesus will one day restore this world perfectly and make it our forever home with him. Everyone who repents of their sin and turns to God will be forgiven and made new.
