Commentary on Ezekiel 36:22

Theological / Devotional

Not this for your sakes. For His own holy name’s sake the Lord was going to restore His people (cf. Ex. 32:12-14; Num. 14:13-20). The people were not to feel that they were in any way the favorites of Heaven. God had chosen the nation to be the means of accomplishing His purpose for the salvation of the whole world (see pp. 26-30). With increased privileges came increased responsibilities.
