A Proclaiming Priest

Ezra 7-10

Nehemiah 8

When God's people hear the Word of the Lord, they find joy and seek to obey God's commands. When God's people heard the reading of His Word, they confessed their sins and committed to obeying God's law in response. The people, however, would fail to obey God as they had promised. Jesus is the Word of God who takes away our sin, give us His righteousness, and changes our heart so we can obey God. Because we have received salvation through Jesus, the Word of God, we seek to worship Him in all we do as a way to proclaim His glory to the nations.
