Lent Week 2, March 1-7 Ezekiel 36.22-36

If you are following along with our Lent Bookmark, this is week 2—Ezekiel 36.22-36. Here are a few bullet points to aid your listening (studying of the passage), adoring (worship of Jesus) and cooperating (recognizing His grace and following what He is doing) as you pray through the passage.

  • Note why the Lord is doing this work (the work of the New Covenant).
  • Note also the contrasts (stated and implied), especially in verses 25-28.
  • The blessings of land and descendants parallels Abraham's covenant. As receivers of the new covenant, how does this impact us?
  • In light of Jesus' blessings, we ought to be humbled by His forgiveness of our sin—He truly has amazing grace!
  • Finally, as per our main theme with this Lent study, note the role of the Holy Spirit in this passage.
