28:25 主耶和華如此說:「我將分散在萬民中的以色列家招聚回來,向他們在列邦人眼前顯為聖的時候,他們就在我賜給我僕人雅各之地,仍然居住。
28:26 他們要在這地上安然居住。我向四圍恨惡他們的眾人施行審判以後,他們要蓋造房屋,栽種葡萄園,安然居住,就知道我是耶和華─他們的上帝。」
25 "Thus says the Lord God: When I
gather the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and
manifest my holiness in them in the sight of the nations, then they shall dwell
in their own land that I gave to my servant Jacob. 26 And they shall dwell
securely in it, and they shall build houses and plant vineyards. They shall
dwell securely, when I execute judgments upon all their neighbors who have
treated them with contempt. Then they will know that I am the Lord their
God."

雖然先知以西結的信息中充滿審判,但是仍然有安慰的信息,上帝在審判列邦之後,仍然要彰顯祂拯救以色列的決心!祂不會忘記祂七十年後要重建耶路撒冷的應許!上帝要使以色列人回到故鄉,並且安然居住!
這也告訴我們,上帝最終的目的是要讓祂的子民得著真正的安息!我們如何能得這真正的安息呢?就是在基督裡與上帝建立正確和合宜的關係!
我們是不是被別的事物、想法、行動所衝擊,忘記上帝要賜予人的終極恩典呢?我們是不是被不當的言論所蠱惑、所躁動,以至於忘記真正的安息呢?快回到基督裡享受這一份安息!
