In this message from Ezekiel 24, we’re reminded of the weighty call of the prophets and the surpassing greatness of God’s glory. Ezekiel’s ministry was marked by extraordinary suffering—his very life became a series of signs pointing God’s people back to Him. The most striking moment came when God told Ezekiel that his wife, “the delight of [his] eyes,” would be taken from him, and that he was not to grieve in the usual way. This became a vivid picture for Israel, showing that just as Ezekiel lost what was most precious, the people too would lose the temple—the “delight of their eyes”—because they had loved the gifts of God more than God Himself. Mark Skillin’s sermon challenges us to examine our own hearts. Do we treasure God above all else, or do we allow His good gifts to eclipse our worship of Him?
