When the Lord Brings Judgment (Ezekiel 4-5)

About this sermon

In this lecture, Don Carson examines Ezekiel's prophetic vision from God as recorded in Ezekiel 4–5. The prophet's actions symbolize Jerusalem's impending judgment because of their sin, and Carson highlights the inevitability of God's wrath and the need for repentance. He points to the seriousness of God's judgment in the Old Testament and the ultimate display of God's justice and mercy in the New Testament, particularly through the cross. He teaches the following: Ezekiel’s prophetic actions convey the severity of God’s coming judgment God’s wrath is a necessary consequence of the people's wickedness Why we must understand repentance How Ezekiel 4–5 fits into the context of the Bible’s metanarrative The problem of humanity’s sin requires a divine solution The cross is the ultimate expression of God’s justice and mercy Help The Gospel Coalition build up a renewed church for tomorrow.
