One of the most powerful forces in human life is that of influence. But there is something that supercedes influence. That something is PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY. "You and I are right now what we are because that is what we have chosen to be." Both Jeremiah & Ezekiel lived when the storm clouds of the Babylonian captivity were gathering. Both of them heard people giving the parable of the sour grapes--blaming their parents for the impending judgement of God. Ezekiel drew for them an unusual picture of a righteous father, who had a wicked son, who in turn had a righteous son. He was saying to them that each person is ultimately responsible to God for himself. God holds each person responsible for: his thoughts his actions his worship his morality his honesty his eternal destiny This is a key message for anyone with a sin problem to hear so that he is able to get help for himself by accepting personal responsibility for his life.
