3:1-3
God commands Ezekiel to eat the scroll that has been set before him. Ezekiel had to fully digest the word of God. We too need to fully digest the word of God. God’s word goes against the wisdom of the world in so many ways. Much of the world’s wisdom is foolishness, and often evil nonsense. God’s grace is far deeper than anything the world has, able to save all sorts of people. In fact, a noticeable feature of most of the woke stuff that flies about these days is how short of grace it is. So if we are to be Christ’s servants on earth we need to fully absorb His word, and Ezekiel duly consumed the word of God. The word tasted sweet as honey. Now remember that in 2:10 we were told that the words written on the scroll were words of lament, mourning and woe! Remember also, that there were no chapter divisions in the original! God’s word of judgement can be sweet, indeed should be sweet to us. Why? Because they call evil evil, and good, good. And with judgement comes mercy, if only we will accept the judgement first.
