Christianity is about God reaching out his hand in friendship to mankind. Christians believe that the whole world and everything in it was created by God. God is a personal being, a living God who is three, yet one: Father, Son and Spirit, just as we human beings have body, mind and soul! (see the Trinity). The Bible says God created people in his image, to love him. Yet every person has rebelled against God and sinned. Yet instead of turning his back on us, God became a man, Jesus, who most scholars believe was born about the year 4 BC and lived among us. He taught a message of love throughout Palestine but public opinion turned against him and he was executed as a young man. He died because of us - the death that we should have died. He was crucified on a cross, but he rose from the dead, and now calls us to trust him, to love him and to repent of our rebellion. If we do this, then we our relationship with God becomes restored and we will live forever with God. Many non-Christians may think that being a Christian is about belonging to a particular church or following a certain set of rule. Most Christians however would agree that at its root, being a Christian means to be in a living relationship with Jesus. Who is God?

In these verses there is also recorded a lamentation over Egypt, which was to be crushed at the hands of Babylon. Ezekiel had been silent since the day the siege had begun. This covered a period of about three years. The visions of chapters 26-31, most of which came within that three-year period, and were directed against Tyre and Egypt, must have been written, not spoken. Ezekiel 's first utterance, after receiving the news of the fall of Jerusalem, was that the wicked left in Judah would be exterminated. Five years later Nebuchadnezzar took 745 more captives. Chapter 33:30-33 records Ezekiel 's popularity with the exiles. He charmed them with his speech, but they continued unrepentant. Chapter 34 records the indictment of the shepherds, or leaders, of Israel. The responsibility of the captivity of Israel is blamed directly on the greedy and cruel kings and priests who had led the people astray. Against this background Ezekiel sees a vision of the Future Shepherd of God's people in the coming Messiah , under whom they shall nevermore suffer and "there shall be showers of blessings.".
