Sweetness

In making a text of God's body, God shows Ezekiel that these emotions are in fact as sweet as honey. What could be sweeter than a God who is saddened by my sin? In the same way the book of Ezekiel for us almost becomes Ezekiel's body, the bible almost becomes the body of our salvation. The bible is the story of our salvation but it does not become the body of our salvation until we take it into our bodies, until we eat it in the same way that Ezekiel ate the scroll.
