Ezra (Book 15/66) – A Book of Israel’s History
Ezra records the return of the exiles to Jerusalem and the rebuilding of the temple, emphasizing the importance of restoring proper worship and obedience to God's Law. It highlights God's faithfulness in bringing His people back from captivity; God even uses a pagan King, Cyrus of Persia, to rebuild the temple. Ezra's commitment to God's Law points to Jesus, who perfectly fulfills the Law and teaches us to worship God with our lives.
These summaries are meant to help you understand the book, but so many historical and factual details were passed over in favor of brevity. This devotional plan is intended to give you a snapshot of the book and help you understand God’s redemptive plan throughout the Bible.
Key Sections: Ezra 1:1-4, Ezra 3:8-11, Ezra 7:8-10, Ezra 7:27-28, Ezra 9:5-9.
