The People Return to Jerusalem | Day 262

Day 262 | Nehemiah 7:4–8:12After years in exile, God’s people return to Jerusalem and gather with one purpose: to hear the Word of the Lord. Ezra opens the Book of the Law, and the people rise in reverence, listening attentively for hours as God’s Word is read and explained. Their hearts are pierced, and they weep in repentance—but Nehemiah and Ezra remind them that this is a holy day, a day to rejoice. The people are called to celebrate, for the joy of the Lord is their strength.Hosts: Tanya Franks, Ben TaylorVisit bellevue.org/bible for more resources and to download our reading plan.#ChronologicalBibleJourney #ChronologicalBible #BellevueBaptistChurch
