Key Verse<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u20141 Corinthians\n15:58
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key\nVerse Thought:<\/strong> Read the Key Verse. We are to understand what it means to be\n\u201cstedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work\nof the Lord.\u201d That means: not changing or moving, but being more\nabundant or distinguished than somebody else in reference to doing something.\nWe are to try to be the best Christian living for Jesus than anyone else around\nus \u2013 for we know that even though it may be very difficult (labour), we also\nknow that our life will not be fruitless in God\u2019s eyes.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emphasis:\n<\/strong>We are to remain true to the task God places before us, no matter how\ndifficult it may seem \u2013 even if people ignore us and reject God\u2019s Word (just as\nthey did to Ezekiel), when we tell others about Jesus.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lesson Summary: <\/strong>God\ncalled Ezekiel again, to be a watchman to Israel.\nHe was to continue warning the people \u2013 especially the children of God\u2019s\npeople. The children would be the ones who would eventually return to Jerusalem.\nGod warned Ezekiel that he would be accountable to God if he was not faithful\nto speak the Words God gave him to speak. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Ezekiel was warning God\u2019s people, a messenger came with\nthe news that Jerusalem had been\nsmitten (defeated; destroyed). Ezekiel proceeded to remind them why Jerusalem\nhad been destroyed. Although the people listened to the message, they did not\nadhere to the teachings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ezekiel had to remind the people why they lost their homeland\nand their beloved city, Jerusalem.\nIt was because they forsook God and worshiped idols instead. Nevertheless,\nafter this reminder, they were encouraged with the words that God would one day\nrestore their homeland to them. After these words, God gave Ezekiel an unusual\nvisual to help him understand what God would do for His people one day. God\ntook Ezekiel to a valley full of dry bones and told him to preach the Word of\nthe Lord to them. When he did, the bones were rejoined and skin covered them\nagain. After God breathed life into them, those dead bones lived. It was a\npicture of the dead, desolate nation Israel\nwould be when God would one day restore them. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

God would join the divided kingdom as one nation with one king, they would reject idolatry once and for all and God would be their God, and God then gave the promise of Jesus.\u00a0 Jesus would be the king over God\u2019s people, the one shepherd, and he would be their prince \u2013 forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
