Daily Bread #669 - "Language Isn't The Issue"
(4) And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the house of Israel, and speak with my words unto them. (5) For thou art not sent to a people of a strange speech and of an hard language, but to the house of Israel; Ezekiel 3:4-5 - KJV
Textual Insight:
When God sent Ezekiel to proclaim his word to the house of Israel, an important truth was stated: there would not be a language barrier. Therefore, the issue would lie in their willingness to obey God's instructions, not to understand it. This is still true today. The Bible has been translated into so many languages that people aren't lost due to language barriers. They suffer from a refusal to heed its warnings and follow its instructions.
