Hope – John Valters Paintner

“Ezekiel gives the people what they need during the Exile: hope. They may have lost God’s favor, their land, and their Temple . . . but they are not completely lost. There was a way back. Ezekiel doesn’t promise them that it will be easy, just that it is possible.”

Recall a time in your life that felt completely hopeless, that turned out to be just a new beginning.
