“When I passed by thee, I said unto thee, Live.” — Ezekiel 16:6
Saved one, consider gratefully this mandate (of mercy. Note that this fiat of God is majestic. In our text, we perceive a sinner with nothing in him but sin, expecting nothing but wrath; but the eternal Lord passes by in His glory; l He looks. He pauses, and He pronounces the solitary but royal word, “Live.” There speaks a God. Who but He could venture thus to deal with life and dispense it with a single syllable? Again, this fiat is manifold. When He saith “Live,” it includes many things. Here is judicial life. The sinner is ready to be condemned, but the mighty One saith, “Live,” and he rises pardoned and absolved. It is spiritual life. We knew not Jesus — our eyes could not see Christ, our ears could not hear His voice — Jehovah said “Live,” and we were quickened who were dead in trespasses and sins. Moreover, it includes glory-life, which is the…
perfection of spiritual life. “I
said unto thee, Live:” and that word rolls on through all the years of time
till death comes, and in the midst of the shadows of death, the Lord’s voice
is still heard, “Live!” In the morning of the resurrection it is that self-same
voice which is echoed by the arch-angel, “Live,” and as Holy Spirits rise to
heaven to be blest for ever in the glory of their God, it is in the power of
this same word, “Live.” Note again, that it is an irresistible mandate. Saul
of Tarsus is on the road to Damascus to arrest the saints of the living God.
A voice is heard from heaven and a light is seen above the brightness of the
sun, and Saul is crying out, “Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?” This
mandate is a mandate of free grace. When sinners are saved, it is only and
solely because God will do it to magnify His free, unpurchased, unsought
grace. Christians, see your position, debtors to grace; show your gratitude
by earnest, Christlike lives, and as God has bidden you live, see to it that
you live in earnest.
