Nehemiah, the governor of the land in Jerusalem, not only encourages God's people to model redemption, by forgiving other's debts and keeping their promise before God and man, but also to give grace to others, by giving 'grace for grace'.
Nehemiah, in many ways, reflected the true Redeemer, by not requiring of the people what he could have charged and also by abundunantly providing for his people at his table.
Nehemiah in many ways was a reflection of the 'Greater Nehemiah' and the 'Greater Governor', who is our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Nehemiah was a good and even great governor of the land of Judah, but Nehemiah pales in comparison when paired to Christ, who is our 'Great Redeemer'.
