Rev. Doug Nicely, pastor of Jerusalem Lutheran Church in Collinsville, Illinois, joins host Rev. AJ Espinosa to study Nehemiah 6 and 2:1-6.
“Should such a man as I run away? And what man such as I could go into the temple and live? I will not go in.” Nehemiah humbly risks his safety time and again to ensure the wall’s completion. Why were Jerusalem’s walls so important?
Cyrus and Nehemiah were the least-expected instruments: a pagan emperor and an unclean eunuch. And yet, God was commanding all things for the most unlikely re-establishment of Judah. Nehemiah’s humility made him bold, even as Jesus Christ’s own humility led Him to boldly establish the church with His own body. We too offer “arrow prayers,” boldly seeking God’s will even when we lack allies or prestige.
