As mentioned in a previous post, I started a sermon series on Ezra – Nehemiah this past Sunday at Kenwood. And no, it doesn’t have anything to do with a building program. All Scripture is God-breathed and profitable.
Preparing for this sermon was a study in the OT’s use of the OT. Ezra is interpreting Moses and the Prophets and showing his audience how to read earlier passages of Scripture as he claims fulfillment and hints at yet greater fulfillments to come.
This sermon series would have been handy before I finished my commentary on 1 Esdras!
