Day 307 | Ezekiel sees visions from God | Hebrews 4: Jesus the High Priest

Day 307 of the Holy Bible One Year CHALLENGE. Ezekiel has this wild vision with super complex and vivid images—a storm, creatures with four faces and wings, wheels within wheels, and above all, a throne with a figure glowing like fire. This figure is the glory of God, and He's commissioning Ezekiel to be a prophet. God warns Ezekiel that he's being sent to the Israelites who are stubborn and rebellious, but he must speak God's words to them anyway, whether they listen or not. God gives Ezekiel a scroll with sad words and tells him to eat it. It's sweet as honey in his mouth. Ezekiel is then filled with the Spirit and told to go speak to Israel.Hebrews 4:14-5:10 serves as a spiritual pep talk about sticking with Jesus because He's not just some high-and-mighty high priest, but one who gets us on every level. He's been through the wringer, too, but never messed up, so we should feel totally cool about being open with God, thanks to Him. Then it shifts to talk about every high priest being picked from among us humans, dealing gently with our mess-ups because they're no strangers to personal weakness themselves. And just like they didn't just waltz into the job, Jesus didn't either—He was chosen by God. His real street cred comes from how He handled suffering, which made Him the perfect leader, forever in the business of bringing us closer to God.
