Today: [Ezekiel 20] Are You Capable of Repentance? In Ezekiel 20 a group of elders come to inquire of Ezekiel. The prophet knows that the leaders before him are convinced that they have done nothing to warrant the rigors of captivity that they have been suffering. They feel they have fulfilled all that God expects and now they want an explanation as to why God hasn’t delivered them yet. Instead Ezekiel recites the history of the people’s disobediences and demands the elders to repent of their own idolatry. In the end, the elders completely don’t understand what is being said because they are absolutely entrenched in their own self-righteousness. The question for us is are we capable of any level of transparency that might lead to a need repentance in our own lives?
