THE WATCHMAN & THE SHEPHERD
Ezekiel 33,34
The Watchman (chapter 33)
- What does God say about watchman’s role & responsibility? (33:1-9; cf. 2Ti 4:1,2; 1Co 9:16) Whom did God appoint as an Israel’s watchman? (7) Think about our role and responsibility before God.
- What was a question among the exiles in Babylon? (10) What was God’s answer? (11-16) What was their response to God’s answer? (17-20)
- What was the misunderstanding of the remnant in Judah? (21-24) What did God say to them? (25-29) Why couldn’t they escape from God’s judgment? (30-33)
The Shepherd (chapter 34)
- Who were the shepherds of Israel? How did they shepherd God’s sheep? (34:1-6) How would God judge them? (7-10)
- How would God shepherd his sheep? (11-16) How would God judge his flock? (17-22) What was God’s promise given? (23-31; cf. Jn 10:1-18; Jn 14:27) Think about what kind of shepherds and sheep God wants us to be.
