## Resource

The theme for this study is revival and leadership. Ezra 7-8 focuses on Ezra, a priest from the line of Aaron, who leads the second wave of exiles back to Jerusalem in 458 BC. Tasked with spiritual revival, Ezra seeks to restore worship and teach God’s law. King Artaxerxes grants Ezra permission to return, along with resources from the royal treasury. Before beginning the journey, Ezra proclaims a fast and entrusts priests to guard the treasures. Despite dangers, God protects the travellers. This passage highlights Ezra’s dedication, leadership, and preparation, ensuring God’s laws are honoured in Jerusalem.
