Ezekiel and the God of Renewal

Ezekiel was a priest who was taken into Babylonian exile with many other Judeans. He would have witnessed the destruction of life, the temple, and felt the pain of captivity. As a trauma survivor his visions and experiences are graphic and portray a need for hope and healing. Yahweh is that God who reminded the prophet that the Lord sought healing, repentance, and renewal with the prophet as well as the people. We are not limited or judged by the behaviors or sins of others, but have a hope to be unique in the eyes of our God and Savior.
