In Ezekiel 26, we find an awesome Word
of judgment, spoken against the city of Tyre. The Word, spoken by God
through His prophet, is uncompromising - “Tyre, you famous city, you
have been destroyed” (Ezekiel 26:17). The effect of Tyre’s fall is
described: “Your defeat will make the people, who live by the coast,
tremble. Your end will terrify the islands in the sea” (Ezekiel 26:18).
This is the fear of the Lord. We become aware that it’s a terrible thing
to fall into the hands of the living God. The Gospel tells us about the
hands that were nailed to the Cross for us, so that we might pass from
judgment to salvation, through faith in Jesus Christ.
