VERSES:
Deuteronomy 29:29
The
secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things that are revealed
belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this
law.
Ko e tohi ‘a Nehemaia ‘oku ne hoko atu ‘a e talanoa
na’e ngata ai ‘a e tohi ‘Esela ‘i he fakahokohoko ‘o e ngaahi tohi hisitolia ‘o
hono toe fakafo’ou ‘o Selusalema. Na’e

The
Book of Nehemiah picks up where Ezra left off in the historical records of the restoration
of Jerusalem. Under Ezra's spiritual leadership, the Jews began to renew their
allegiance to the Lord. Just 13 years later, Artaxerxes allowed another Jewish leader,
Nehemiah, to return to the city. Nehemiah appeared with an ambitious goal to
rebuild the city's wall. Nearly a century had passed since the first Jewish
exiles returned to Jerusalem. In that time they had constructed the temple and
various other, mostly private, structures. Yet even so, the defensive wall that
surrounded the city remained to be rebuilt. The true problem wasn't a
broken-down city. The true problem was a broken-down people who had a
disconnected relationship with God. Nehemiah was called to rebuild a city and a
community of people in shambles. Because of the exile, Jerusalem was in need of
both physical and spiritual renewal The same is true of our broken world. There
are hurting and helpless people all around us-people who need the hope of
Christ. When we let this reality sink in, like Nehemiah, we are compelled to
step up and make a difference.
