Ezra 6:16-22 Captivated by Joy

In this message, in Ezra 5-6 the Temple is now complete, despite objections by other peoples in the land. Following its dedication, Passover is finally celebrated in the completed Temple. In Ezra 6:19-22 Israel once again looks back to the great event in their history, the Exodus from Egypt.

What was a somber event, gives way to joy and celebration for God’s gracious freedom.
