Unit 17 Session 3
A TEMPLE RESTORED
EZRA 2-6
God moves His people to obey Him so that He might be glorified.
The exiles in Babylon were graciously granted permission to return home to Judah with the express purpose of rebuilding the temple of the Lord. Immediately, they set out to lay the foundation, which resulted in cries of joy from the young but tears from the old. But then outside opposition to this work set in with physical and political threats. The result was a delay in the construction and a loss of motivation in the people. They would need a prophetic word and the Lord's intervention to help them complete the house of God.
Points to consider:
✞ The people obey because of divine encouragement.
* Why is it easy to get distracted from the Lord's work?
* Why is it important to listen to godly wisdom from
God's people?
✞ The people succeed because of divine intervention.
* How should we live knowing that God is infinite?
✞ The people rejoice because of divine sovereignty.
* What are some commands for how we are to worship
God because of our salvation in Jesus Christ?
* How should belief in God's power to rescue us bring
joy in your life?
