GOSPEL NUGGET #196

Eze 3:7 "But the house of Israel will not listen to you, because they will not listen to Me; for all the house of Israel are impudent and hard-hearted.

Eze 2:5 "As for them, whether they hear or whether they refuse-for they are a rebellious house-yet they will know that a prophet has been among them.

True Story

One time a preacher was earnestly preaching the message of salvation in Christ to hundreds if not a thousand people in a big auditorium, wherein he pleaded with them and tried to make them see their need of salvation in Christ. 

He was met with a cold response. 

He called for his assistant to take over while he walked away and slumped in his chair wondering, somewhat discouraged. He silently asked God: "What's wrong Lord? I did everything so that you would use me as your tool in calling men to salvation in Christ." 

Then these verses came to his attention: 

"...the house of Israel will not listen to you, because they will not listen to Me; for all the house of Israel are impudent and hard-hearted."

"As for them, whether they hear or whether they refuse-for they are a rebellious house-yet they will know that a prophet has been among them." 

Are you one of them my friend? God has sent you His messengers, calling you to come to Christ in repentance and faith. You have no time to read His Word (the Bible) but you have all the time for Facebook, and so He came and sent you His message in Facebook calling you to come to Christ. 

Will you still give Him a cold shoulder? Will you still harden your heart against Him? Will you be one of the people in the place of eternal torment who will realize that God called you one time through His messengers but you hardened your heart?
