Ezekiel #3: Bearers of Good News
Manage episode 518972044 series 3694225
What is the "Good News" that can feel like "Bad News"?
In this powerful message from Ezekiel 18, Matthew tackles a tough Biblical tension: personal accountability vs. generational sin.
The exiled Israelites had a popular proverb: "The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge." They believed they were paying the price for their ancestors' mistakes.
But God says, "No more."
Discover the core truth of Ezekiel 18:
The Good News: God holds every soul responsible for their own choices, freeing you from carrying your family's guilt.
The Bad News: If we are all individually accountable, who among us is truly righteous?
The Ultimate Good News: Why God takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked and how the path of repentance—fully realized in Christ—offers immediate and eternal life.
We close with the true story of a soldier who fought a war for 30 years after it ended, urging us to stop neglecting the good news that is already ours.
Don't live another day fighting a battle that Christ has already won. Tune in and embrace the radical mercy of God.
