The Book of Ezra tells the remarkable story of God’s people returning home after decades of exile in Babylon. It’s a story of renewal—of hearts, of worship, and of identity. Under the leadership of Zerubbabel and later Ezra the scribe, the people begin rebuilding what was lost: first the temple, then their covenant commitment to God’s Word.

Ezra highlights God’s sovereign hand in history, as pagan kings are moved to support the return and rebuilding of Jerusalem. But more than political events, this book captures a spiritual awakening. Ezra, a man devoted to studying and teaching God’s law, leads the people in repentance and calls them back to faithful living.

Ezra reminds us that restoration is not just about bricks and buildings, but about returning to God with sincerity and obedience. It speaks to anyone who has experienced spiritual drift and longs to rebuild their walk with God.
