I far jnore information visit. www.hestoflewjsvit lencxom. Peppers from puRe fl.< ? V; . High Priest while Aaron was. the prototype. Our lesson today centers on Ezra, the priest and scribe who led the second group back to Judah. Lesson: After 70 years in captivity, their captors are conquered by the Persians. Because of God's Grace and Mercy towards His people. He works through them to allow the exiles to return home in waves. When Cyrus the Great issues the edict that they can go home, about 42.000 of them return to Judah. It lakes a while, but they complete the rebuilding of the Temple. The first six chapters of Ezra tell their story. The second wave of returnees are led by Ezra and chronicled in the remain der of the book. Committed to the task of the priesthood, he is highly respected by all. He exemplifies a high moral char acter (chapter 7). This is not perfection! "Scholars believe that he initiates teaching the Law among the captives that became the basis of rabbinic teachings that undergirded the synagogues" (Richards' Complete Bible Handbook). The people are excited to be home, however their outside show of gratitude (rebuilding the Temple), is no indication of spiritual growth. Ezra hears ot their sin (pagan marriages) and is disappointed. He becomes appalled when he finds out that the priests are guilty also. When trouble conies, he goes to the Temple. Where do you go? Hopefully, to your secret closet! Ezra waits for the evening sacrifice. Contemplating, the leaders' actions at the appointed time. he performs the rites of indig nation b\ tearing his clothes, pulling out his hair (head and face) and falling down on his knees. This self-abasement represents his vulnerability before the Lord. This also indicates his humility. Read Psalm 51 by David. Spreading out his hands, he acknowledges Judah's, past and current sins. He is too ashamed to lift up his eyes to face God! As he prays, notice that he doesn't separate him self from their shameless actions. What an intercessor. He doesn't offer excuses because there are none! After admitting guilt, the priest expresses gratitude for God's Grace on the behalf of the remnant (the nail) that is firm ly in place in Judah. A large crowd gathers, witnessing Ezra's words and actions. They repent and make covenant with God once more (chapter 10). Application: Our leader today has no problem for standing up for what's right. When he approaches God, his heart is broken and contrite. These terms refer to a deep sorrow and remorse for offending God. As the inter cessor. he is pleading with God to give them another chance, even though they don't deserve it. Was he guilty? No, but his people needed God right then! When the crowd sees his sincerity, they repent. This type of leader leads by example and is effective. Do we lead by example or go along to get along? How can we profess loving God/Jesus doing what we do? The High Priest set the example, our task is to follow it.
