Ezra Read the Bible
Bible Phrase
You learn from the Bible. 2 Timothy 3:15
Scripture Reference: Nehemiah 8:1-12 All of the people were coming to hear Ezra. A big stage had been built where Ezra would stand. Ezra, a teacher, was going to read from the Bible scroll. Ezra climbed the steps to the stage. All of the people could see him. Carefully, Ezra unrolled the Bible scroll. When the people saw the Bible scroll, they stood up. Ezra started reading the Bible to the people. They listened quietly. The people loved God. They wanted to learn more about God. While Ezra read, some men helped the people understand what the words meant. The people became sad. They had not been doing what God wanted them to do. The men told the people, “Do not be sad. This is a special day. God wants you to be happy. Go home and cook some good food. Share your food with people who do not have food to eat.” All of the people went to their homes. They cooked food and shared it with others. Everyone was happy. The people had learned more about God. They knew what God wanted them to do.
Parents: • Mention that one way we show love to God is by learning more about Him. • Read the Bible phrase “You learn from the Bible.” Explain that God gave us the Bible to help us learn about Him.
