I love this passage from Ezekiel. God promises that He will bring the dead to life. He is speaking of a future time, when great things are afoot. Notice what God says here – He will bring the dry bones to life and then they will know that He is the Lord.
Do you remember what happened when Jesus was crucified?
The earth shook, the rocks split and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. They came out of the tombs after Jesus’ resurrection and went into the holy city and appeared to many people. (Matthew 27:51b-53)
The moment Jesus let go of His life on the cross, the graves were open and the people of Israel were raised from them – sound familiar?
I am going to open your graves and bring you up from them.
And what did this sign mean?
Then you, my people, will know that I am the Lord, when I open your graves and bring you up from them.
So I ask you – who is God? He is the One who raises the dead to life! He can do this for both the physically AND the spiritually dead.
