Is It Not My Ways Which Are Fair

It started with a pinch that drew blood, a sound talking to, and a little girl sitting in her room absolutely certain that the whole situation was deeply, profoundly unfair. Sound familiar? In this episode we discover that Israel said the exact same thing to God in Ezekiel 18, and His response was not what they expected. Rather than defending His judgment with a list of their crimes, He turned the mirror around and asked a question that still lands today: is it not My ways which are fair, and your ways which are not fair? We explore what God was actually grieved about in the Old Testament, why every sin He names in Ezekiel 18 is committed against a fellow human being, and why the God so many dismiss as harsh and wrathful ends the chapter with a passionate plea: turn and live. The Old Testament God and the New Testament God are the same God. He always was.
