Ezra 6: Finished!

Building a temple is a great undertaking. Four years after being rebuked by Haggai and Zechariah, they finished the work (v. 14). This was truly a great time, leading to a restoration of true, joyful worship according to the law God gave to Moses. Today’s temple is the church—made of living stones—Christians (1 Peter 2:5-9). It takes a lot to build and maintain, too. But we can, and must, do it (Ephesians 2:19-22).
