When I read Ezekiel 33, one thing that really stood out to me is the responsibility of the watchman. God told Ezekiel that if He gave him a warning to give to the people, Ezekiel had a responsibility to speak. If he warned them and they refused to listen, then their response was their responsibility. But if he failed to warn them, then God would hold him accountable for not speaking. So, for me, the lesson is not that we are responsible for everyone in the world or that we will suffer the consequences because somebody refused to change. Rather, we are responsible for what God has entrusted to us. If we know the truth and God gives us an opportunity to speak or warn someone, we should not deliberately remain silent. But after we have done our part, the person's response is between them and God. We cannot force someone to repent or make the right decision. We are the watchmen but we are not the judge and we are not the Savior.That also reminds me that I shouldn't carry the burden of thinking If this person doesn't change, then somehow it's my fault. My responsibility is to be faithful, to speak the truth in love, and to leave the person's response in God's hands. Amen
