Gospel Glimpses in Ezra: Promise & Fulfilment

In this first video of a three part series, Kwasi Amoafo shares with us glimpses of the gospel in the book of Ezra. We see that the Old Testament book of Ezra, while a historical account, is also a book for Christians. It points us to the great promises God has made, to ultimately gather his people to himself. Ezra isn’t the final fulfilment of God’s many glorious, unconditional promises about the future; Jesus is!
