Explore Ezekiel's vision of the scroll, uncovering God's message, nourishment, and calling in this 7-day Bible study journey.
The Bible is not just a book; it is the living, breathing Word of God that speaks to us in every generation. One of the most fascinating and powerful images of the Bible as God's message is found in the story of the prophet Ezekiel, who was commanded by God to eat a scroll. This extraordinary act symbolizes how God's Word is not only to be read but deeply internalized and lived.
In Ezekiel 2:8-3:3, the prophet is instructed to consume a scroll filled with lamentations, mourning, and woe. Though tasting honey, the message it contains is sobering and challenging. This dual nature of God's Word is what sustains and equips believers for their mission and life’s trials. As Ezekiel ate the scroll, he was empowered to deliver God's message faithfully, reflecting the nourishment and strength found in God's Scriptures.
Throughout this seven-day journey, we will explore the meaning, purpose, and power of the Bible by reflecting on Ezekiel's remarkable experience. We will see how God's Word can sweeten our hearts even when it calls us to face hard truths. More than an ancient text, the scroll Ezekiel ate reveals how God’s Word becomes alive within us, transforming our thoughts, guiding our paths, and commissioning us to serve. Join us as we dive into Scripture, embrace God’s voice, and allow the Bible to become our strength and guide.
