Ezekiel was sent to his own people. It is sometimes easier to go as a missionary to China or India than to speak to the members of your own household or your own friends. Perhaps God is speaking to us as He spoke to Ezekiel--Thou art not sent to a people of a strange speech and of an hard language, but to the house of Israel . . . Go, get thee to them of the captivity, unto the children of thy people, and speak unto them (Ezekiel 3:5,11). It was a difficult task to speak to false prophets, elders,
shepherds and princes, but God commanded it.
