Yesterday’s study showed that Ezra enjoyed the protection of God, because he handled His Word with care. He studied it, applied it and taught others. Jesus Christ says exactly the same, with a slightly different emphasis.
People who read the Word of God and also apply it, will not only be blessed by God, but are also able to pass in on.
God uses His Word to reach people and to bring them to faith in Jesus Christ, to help believers grow in faith, and to lead believers through this life.
How does a holy, immortal, unending God help a sinful, mortal, and tiny human? God’s answer: by becoming a human Himself and be like man in every way (but without sin), to take all sin onto Himself, and thus reuniting man with Himself.
