(Ezekiel 4:1)God told Ezekiel to bake his bread withdried human feces (as a fuel) and eat it infront of the people. (Ezekiel 4:12)Hosea’s life defies all of our logic. Godasked him to marry a prostitute, knowingthat she would not be faithful to him.(Hosea 1; 2)John the Baptist chose to live by himself ina secluded place in the wilderness. Henever went to the church to get authority topreach, and part of his message was todenounce the leadership. (Matthew 3:1-7)The birth of Jesus looked very suspicious,and He grew up in a wicked town.(Matthew 1:18; John 1:46)Even though Jesus did many mightymiracles, the church leaders were notconvinced He was from God. They evenaccused Him of performing His miraclesthrough the power of Satan. (Matthew12:24)At one time Jesus taught that if we did noteat His flesh and drink His blood that wewould not have eternal life. Because ofwhat He said, many of those who hadfollowed Him left and never believed inHim again. (John 6:53)Would you believe Ezekielwas God’s prophet eventhough he was asked toperform what seemed like achildish act?Again, would you believethat Ezekiel was God’sprophet even though he wasgiven such a strange request?Would you believe thatHosea was a prophet of Godeven though he married aprostitute?Would you have acceptedJohn the Baptist after he hadrebuked the churchleadership and after theleadership rejected him?Would you have believedJesus was the Messiah,considering the rumors ofHis birth and thesurroundings of Hisenvironment?Considering the oppositionJesus received from churchleaders, would you havebelieved His miracles werefrom God? (Would Mr.Prewitt have believed it wasthe “devil preaching to thechoir”?)Would you have continued tofollow Jesus in spite of whatHe said?
