Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Whole Bible
back to:
Ezekiel
Book: Ezekiel
Chapter: 15
Overview:
Jerusalem like an unfruitful
Vine.
- If a
Vine be fruitful, it is valuable. But if not fruitful, it
is worthless and useless, it is cast into the
Fire. Thus
Man is
capable of yielding a precious
Fruit, in living to
God; this is
the sole
End of his existence; and if he fails in this, he is of
No use but to be destroyed. What blindness then attaches to
those who live in the total neglect of
God and of true religion!
This similitude is applied to
Jerusalem. Let us beware of an
unfruitful profession. Let us come to
Christ, and seek to abide
in him, and to have his words abide in us.
