Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones's sermons on the Book of Ezekiel were delivered at Westminster Chapel in London as part of his wider exposition of Old Testament prophetic literature. These masterly expositions reveal the timeless truths of Scripture through careful examination of key passages that speak to spiritual renewal, divine holiness, and God's transforming work in human hearts.
The series begins with "The Experience of Ezekiel," where Dr. Lloyd-Jones explores the prophet's extraordinary vision of God's glory in Ezekiel 1:28 and its relevance for believers today. Through vivid exposition, he demonstrates how a genuine encounter with God's holiness leads to both deep humility and spiritual transformation. In "The Christian Experience," he draws parallels between Ezekiel's commission to eat the scroll and the believer's need to internalize God's Word completely.
Moving through the book, Dr. Lloyd-Jones addresses fundamental themes in Ezekiel's prophecy, including the dangers of false teaching in "Christ; the Only Hope" and the counterintuitive ways of God in "The Foolishness of God." His exposition of "The Revelation from God" explains how divine truth confronts human rebellion and calls for repentance. Throughout these sermons, he shows how Ezekiel's ancient message powerfully speaks to modern spiritual conditions.
The heart of the series focuses on Ezekiel 36, where Dr. Lloyd-Jones presents a comprehensive picture of salvation in twelve interconnected sermons. Beginning with "Separated Unto Holiness" and "I Poured My Fury Upon Them," he establishes the desperate condition of sinful humanity that stands under divine judgment. The sermon "The Act of Rebellion" probes the nature of sin as willful defiance against God's righteous rule, while "Out of Babylon into Canaan" portrays God's sovereign deliverance of His people.
Dr. Lloyd-Jones's exposition of "Ye Shall Be Clean," "A New Heart," and "I Will Put My Spirit Within You" reveals the progressive work of salvation—cleansing from sin, heart transformation, and indwelling of the Spirit. His careful handling of these texts shows how Ezekiel's prophecy anticipates the New Testament's teaching on regeneration. In "A Great and Complete Salvation," he celebrates the comprehensive nature of God's redemptive work.
The series concludes with sermons addressing "The Foolishness of Man," "The Temple in the Soul," and "Saved By Grace Alone," where Dr. Lloyd-Jones demonstrates how God's grace transforms barren lives into fruitful ones. His exposition of "The Unproductive Age" provides a powerful critique of modern self-sufficiency and shows how only divine intervention can restore true spiritual life.
These sermons combine careful textual analysis with practical application, theological depth with pastoral wisdom, making them invaluable resources for understanding the message of Ezekiel. They represent some of Dr. Lloyd-Jones's most profound teaching on God's sovereign work in renewing hearts and establishing His kingdom through the gift of a new heart and the indwelling Spirit.
