The great and awe-inspiring Lord stirred the heart of Nehemiah to rebuild Jerusalem’s walls for the dignity of his people and the glory of his God. The Lord also paved the way for Nehemiah to act on this burden of his heart. Nehemiah led courageously and strategically, and the people were successful, rebuilding the walls in fifty-two days, and all the glory went to the Lord (Neh. 6:15-16). Yet this leader and this work were temporary; Nehemiah would die and the walls would eventually fall once again because of sin. But Nehemiah and his walls were a shadow of a greater leader and protector to come. Jesus came with the burden of compassion for sinners and the determination to die on behalf of sinners to save them from sin and death. But He rose from the dead and now protects His people with His presence for all eternity. Nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord (Rom. 8:37-39).
Think about this: What does this account in Nehemiah teach us about God’s character? What are some ways the story of Nehemiah points to Jesus?
