Obedience in Uncertainty
Commentators highlight Ezekiel's immediate obedience. God told him to go to the plain without explaining why, and Ezekiel went. Scholars like Calvin see this as a model for believers: we are called to obey God's commands promptly, even when the purpose isn't clear or the action seems illogical to us. Our trust is in the one giving the command, not in our own understanding of the plan.
