49 Then I said, “Sovereign Lord, they are saying of me, ‘Isn’t he just telling parables?’”[c]
Well I didn't get much again today, but chapters like this are always good for me to hear a recount or summary of history. I went and read Tom's posts on this chapter. He had an interesting take on this last verse. Tom preaches, so it may be from a preachers point of view but he notes and feels Ezekial's frustration and concern...are they hearing anything I'm saying? Am I using the wrong words to share God's message, because they don't seem to be hitting the mark. Well as Tom notes, we are reading them 2,500 years later so Zeke can feel a little better about it now.

I agree, this one is tough. I can see what Tom is saying....but, I can feel God's frustration here too. I fel like he's saying, "after everything I've done for you, this is how you treat me? And you don't even recognize how you hurt me! Are you people really this stupid? I'm right in front of you, and yet you build things to place in front of me, and to place your faith in!"
