July 26, 2023 - "When God Hurts" - Ezekiel 24-26

We often think that our sin does not affect anyone else - but it does, it hurts God. God could think of no better way to explain what the sin of His people was doing to Him, so God explained the pain as if it was a husband's wife committing adultery, or if a couple that is in great love of each other and the wife dies. The pain can be unbearable. This is the pain God was feeling when His own people turned to sin and the lust of the flesh to worship all kinds of lusts – it tore God’s heart apart, like a spouse that dies. Our sin has far-reaching effects, let's confess our sins and turn from them.
