The Christ of Nehemiah

Jesus is the Restorer of God’s People!

Like Ezra, Nehemiah portrays Christ in His ministry of restoration.

Nehemiah illustrates Christ in that he gives up a high position in order to identify with the plight of his people (2:1-5; 2 Corinthians 8:9; Philippians 2:5-8).

He comes with a specific mission and fulfills it (2:17; John 6:38; Galatians 4:4-5).

His life is characterized by prayerful dependence upon God (1:4-11; 2:4; 4:9; 5:19; 6:9; 13:14, 22, 31; Luke 5:16).

Read Nehemiah and see Jesus, the Restorer of Jehovah's people!
