Ezekiel 18:1-4, 25-32 

Lutheran Women’s Missionary League (LWML) Sunday and Pentecost 18. (The other text prominently cited in the sermon is the Epistle reading from Philippians 2:1-4, 14-18.) Life is not really mine. It is God’s. It has always been His or it is death. He is life, after all. What are the implications of God’s claim that “All life is mine”? God’s divine claim on our life means that He gets to define it (not me), he gives it purpose (I am not the center of this picture), and I am accountable to Him (not to myself). Ezekiel is asserting the divine claim on our life, but if you look closely in this text, he also asserts God’s desire for life. God does not desire death, but life for his creatures.
