Ezra 3:8-13 Ezra is a book about restoration. For generations the Israelites had lived in rebellion toward God worshiping idols and ignoring the prophets. The warnings of Jeremiah and Isaiah fell on deaf ears. In the pre-exile days the people were not focused on God’s temple. They were not building his kingdom. They were building their own.
"…And all the people gave a great shout of praise to the Lord, because the foundation of the house of the Lord was laid." Ezra 3:11
There are 3 main points highlighted by Pastor Daniel in today's passage referring to the foundation that was built. First, the unselfish work of God, secondly, the unbreakable word of God and last point is the unrestrained worship of God.
In chapters 1-2 the people return to Jerusalem after a seventy year exile in Babylon. God stirs their hearts to return and over 42,000 people make the long journey. When they arrived back Jerusalem was in ruins, the wall and temple destroyed. Their own homesteads would surely have been in a similar state of ruin and disrepair.
This was a restored nation in need of working together if they were to survive. The people needed leaders to help organize them and keep them moving forward in the right direction. Rebuilding the temple was a very important step for them. The temple was a visible reminder of their relationship with God.
