GOD’S WATCHERS
In the ancient world watchmen were extremely important people.
They kept communities safe, and were there to alert them
to any impending danger or attack. Before locks, alarms,
and security systems, watchmen were the protectors, the
safety measure. So when the Lord charges Ezekiel as a watchman
today, it is a weighty charge. So weighty, we learn, that
if Ezekiel fails to sound the alarm for those around him
and they perish in a state of wickedness, Ezekiel will be
held responsible! This profound connection between God’s
will on earth and in heaven is repeated in today’s
Gospel, where Jesus instructs us that we are to be the security
force, the watchers placed on alert that nowhere in the
Body of Christ, the church, will there be any two members
of the one Body who are not reconciled. Scripture tells
us that Jesus reconciled all things in heaven and on earth
through the blood of his cross. But we are given the mission
to continue that reconciliation on earth as in heaven through
our ceaseless efforts to be, as Paul would write, ambassadors
of reconciliation. Let us not get too comfortable thinking
that we are responsible only for keeping our own lives from
the path of wickedness and disagreement. We are also held
accountable for the lives of the members of Christ’s
body around us.
