The
contrast between a life of sin and shame and a life of faith and
blessing is highlighted in the comparison between the passages in
Ezekiel and Hebrews. The contrast is between living for the things we
see - “She saw men ... As soon as she saw them she lusted after them” (Ezekiel 23:14-16) - and living and “longing for a better country - a heavenly one” (Hebrews 11:16). Proverbs 27:20
says, “Death and Destruction are never satisfied, and neither are the
eyes of man.” The glory of the Christian hope is that Death and
Destruction will not have the last word. God has prepared a city for His
people (Hebrews 11:16). Our eyes will look upon Him, and we will rejoice in Him who satisfies completely - our Creator, our Redeemer: God.
