Ezekiel 33:14-17

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right; If the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die. None of his sins that he hath committed shall be mentioned unto...

Ezekiel 33:30-31

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Also, thou son of man, the children of thy people still are talking against thee by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, every one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that cometh forth from the LORD. And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people,...

Ezekiel 33:32

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

And, lo, thou art unto them as a very lovely song of one that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they hear thy words, but they do them not. Preaching seems to such people to be only a song, or a piece of acting for their amusement; but it is not so. They that can find sport in the things of God, will find it dull sport...

Ezekiel 33:33

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

And when this cometh to pass, (lo, it will come,) then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them. But then it will be too late for them to know it; for they will have missed their opportunity of profiting by the message that the prophet delivered to them. God grant that it may not be so with any one of us, for his abounding mercy’s sake!...

Ezekiel 34:11-12

For thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out. As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day. What a glorious promise! Christ’s...

Ezekiel 34:11

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

For thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out. Here is a divine One come to seek and to save. The shepherds had neglected and scattered the flock. Now God takes it out of their hands, and he says, “I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out.”

Ezekiel 34:11

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out. The shepherds did not do this; they left the sheep to wander, and they were lost upon the mountains; but where men fail, God proves himself all-sufficient. My hearer, are you sitting under an unprofitable ministry? Then look to the Chief Shepherd, and not...

Ezekiel 34:12

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.

As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.

I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel.

I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord God. Happy sheep that have such a guardian!

Ezekiel 34:16

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them with judgment.

Ezekiel 34:16

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, — Ah, one little thinks, perhaps, that there should be such a thing as a poor sheep driven away; but it is sometimes true! A legal preacher drives Christ’s sheep away from Christ. A seeking soul would fain come to Jesus; but he is told that he must be something, and do...
