The books of Ezra and Nehemiah continue the story of God's people after the exile in Babylon.

In an age of experienced-centred worship and entertainment-orientated evangelism these two books direct our thoughts to a holy God who demands reverent worship and uncompromising loyalty form his people.

The historical events recorded in the books of Ezra and Nehemiah are important for us because they were all part of God's plan to prepare the way for the coming of the Saviour and preserve a pure people for the setting up of Christ's kingdom.

Furthermore, Ezra and Nehemiah call us back to a renewed obedience to God's Word, a fresh realization of the power of prayer and wholehearted commitment to the work of God in fellowship with the people of God.
