LIVING LINKS Nehemiah 7

“…but these people were God’s ‘bridge’ from the defeats of the past to the hopes of the future. These Jews were the ‘living link’ that connected the historic past with the prophetic future and made it possible for Jesus Christ to come into the world.” (Warren Wiersbe)

1)People are important to God.

OTHER EXAMPLES: Genesis 49Twelve tribes are listed 2 Samuel 23David’s mighty men 1 ChroniclesExtensive lists Nehemiah 3Wall builders Romans 16People in the church Hebrews 11Heroes of faith Rev. 21:27The Lamb’s Book of Life

If you think that an enemy victory is final, then you have lost your faith in God’s promises. There is always a new beginning for those who are willing to pay the price. (Warren Wiersbe)

1)People are important to God. 2)God keeps up with His people.

A)He knows where we have been (our genealogies) B)He knows where we are (our service) C)He knows where we are going (our future)

1)People are important to God. 2)God keeps up with His people. 3)God takes care of His work.

God buries His workers but continues His work. (John Wesley)

1)People are important to God. 2)God keeps up with His people. 3)God takes care of His work. 4)God knows who does and does not belong to Him.

The important thing is not to count the people but to realize that these people counted…They were ‘pioneers of faith’ who trusted God to enable them to do the impossible. (Warren Wiersbe)
