"When I passed by you and saw you struggling in your own blood, I said to you in your blood, 'Live!'" These were the words God spoke to the nation of Israel through the prophet Ezekiel. God reminded Israel of where He had brought them from, what He made them into, and how they had turned away from Him. This is a powerful reminder of where God brought us from, where we are today, and a warning against turning away from Him.
