Ezra was an obedient servant of God, with the others who went along. It is amazing how God will any use who is willing. No matter how simple or great a task. Jesus use me, and oh Lord,don’t refuse me, surely there’s a work that I can do, and even though it’s humble, Lord help my will to crumble, though the task be great, I’ll work for you. We have to be willing, and waiting for God to use us.
suprisingly how coukd the king write a letter unto Ezra when he wass standing right in front of him, how could it be a letter of authority when it says those who will to go with him may go to Jerusalem...hw beit that he commands Ezra to be given a hundred talents of silver, wheat and wine yet salt without prescribing how much...howbeit that those who went with him were to be exempted from the tolls, e customs and tribute...in this case Ezra plays the Christ role...he 's been describe as the perfect peace whereas hebrews 7 and isiah 9 v 6 says Christ is the prince of peace , King of kings a title of God the father which Artexerxes in this story line therefore its God authorising Christ to go with his people those who will into the new Jerusalem meaning its ot by force but by choice to go with Christ the salt means the word of God mark 9 v 49-50...which was given in abundance to the new testament church...limitations and barriers of this world shall not affect those who go with Christ into the new Jerusalem because all things are theirs thats 1 cor 3 so there shal be no limitation as long as you are going with Christ as long as u minister in his house regardless how you do it whether sing, clean, partner with the gospel you shall be exempted on cindition that yopu have the salt...be blessed
Ezra was obedient to GOD's commission, because of his obedience GOD blessed him with courage and encouragement to move move forward. GOD also blessed him with the King's providence,provision. GOD has promised to be with us and protect us always, in HIS own way< according to HIS divine will and purpose. Amen!!!
