1. We need the Son of God, Jesus, to set us free. Not by the Law, not by a social gospel, but by the blood-mark of the Lamb and a sacred eating and passing through the sea of baptismal regeneration.
  2. God is delivering His people by means of a King who will break down the bars that hold us in. It was strange but it was a real deliverance.
  3. God does not simply dismiss death. Instead, He actually takes it upon Himself and into Himself. He ingests, digests, and passes death so we might be spared from even tasting it.
  4. It was the death of David’s greater son who would die for his sin and our sin in order that we might know the mercy of God to cover all our sin and sour grapes.
  5. Both God and Ezekiel agree that the people are sinful, and God’s greatness is displayed in His mercy.
