Today we celebrate an event of cosmic proportions: when the long-prophesied once-and-forever King of Israel finally arrived in the world. The King was called the Anointed One, the Messiah, the Christ. The secret kept by the creator of the universe himself was that he would come to earth as this long-prophesied Christ, incarnate in human flesh, to be raised by humble and poor parents. Later, he would reveal himself, at first by signs and wonders and at last by words, that he was indeed both the King of Israel and Son of God. But the worldly leaders of the Israelites, with few exceptions, rejected both claims and, by putting him to death, made their king “the Lamb of God.” He died and rose again, as only the Incarnate God could do, for all of our sins. He rose again on the third day and instructed his disciples to preach to the entire world, not just their fellow Jews, the good news that God came to earth in human flesh to heal us all from the deadly effects of our own sins. Praise God!

Are Christians “watchmen” for the “wicked,” obligated like Ezekiel to warn them to turn from their “evil ways”?

Ezekiel 33:7-9 NIV
“Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the people of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me. [8] When I say to the wicked, ‘You wicked person, you will surely die,’ and you do not speak out to dissuade them from their ways, that wicked person will die for their sin, and I will hold you accountable for their blood. [9] But if you do warn the wicked person to turn from their ways and they do not do so, they will die for their sin, though you yourself will be saved.”
