~ Jesus Christ Is The Rebuilder of
the Broken Walls of Human Life ~
The Bible is about Jesus Christ
~ “Jesus
said to them, ‘How foolish you are, and how slow of heart to believe all that
the prophets have spoken! Did not the Christ have to suffer these things and then enter His glory?’ And
beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He explained to them what was said
in all the Scriptures concerning Himself” (Luke 24:25-27).
Jesus
Christ as seen in the book of Nehemiah has been described as rebuilder of the
broken walls, the governor of the
Church, the restorer and protector, and perhaps most appropriately the
rebuilder of the broken-down walls of human life.
The condition of the Israelites and their world in
Nehemiah’s time did not change much during the 400 silent years before the
coming of The Messiah at the beginning of the New Testament. They were not free and they continued to be
ruled by Gentile nations. They continued
to wait for their coming Messiah.
Comment
~ We have only touched the
surface of Christ in Nehemiah.
The Apostle
Paul told us the Scriptures present many shadows of things to come but the
reality is found in Jesus Christ (Colossians 2:17).
