Key Verse
“For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the law of the LORD, and to do it, and to teach in Israel statutes and judgments.”— Ezra 7:10
Points to Christ: The Greater Scribe
The Word made flesh, who not only teaches the Law but fulfills it.
For the Fire Pit
Before Ezra taught a single verse, he set himself to study and obey. A man teaches what he has lived. Everything else is performance.
