Throughout the Book of Ezekiel, we hear a message of judgment, destruction, and restoration. Ezekiel is warning of the judgment of the leaders and others who have only worried about themselves or have forgotten the ways of God. Our lesson today is a ray of hope from Ezekiel to those who were in the Babylonian exile, telling them of God\u2019s promise to look for them, gather them, care for them, and bring them home as a shepherd brings the sheep home and tends to them after they have been lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Note: This is also the last day in the church year, so Option 2 of the lesson focuses a bit more on that, if you wish to help the children prepare for the new year we begin next Sunday on the First Sunday in Advent.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Written by&nbsp;<strong>the Rev.
