“Then I said to them, ‘You see the trouble we are in: Jerusalem lies in ruins, and its gates have been burned with fire. Come, let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem, and we will no longer be in disgrace.’" (Nehemiah 2:17 NIV)
Spiritual renewal often begins with one person’s vision. It takes a unique personality to see rubble and dream of restoration. Nehemiah had a vision, and he shared it with enthusiasm, inspiring Jerusalem’s leaders to rebuild the wall.
God saw our desolate lives and sent us a Redeemer to take the rubble of our lives and restore our souls. He gave His Son so that we, who were dead, might live. Jesus said, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” (John 10:10 NIV)
