Woe Unto Them

Ezekiel 33:7-9: So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me. 8 When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. 9 Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.

If we have a concern for the souls of men, the three words woe unto them should deeply trouble us. They should trouble us enough that we attempt to warn those who need to be warned. Almost everywhere those three words appear in the Bible they direct us to individuals that need to be warned and prayed for. The passages need no comments from me. We must first be certain that the Lord is not saying woe unto them about me and about you, that we are not the ones who need to be warned.
