Mosaic Boston

As we continue our journey through Nehemiah, we get to Nehemiah 4, which contains the perfect illustration of the Christian life. On the one hand, Nehemiah and the people of Israel are working hard to rebuild Jerusalem. On the other hand, they need to be ready to fight the enemy if they were to attack. Each worker had a sword and a trowel, to battle and build. Christians are always fighting the good fight of faith, resisting the sinful patterns of this world, the flesh, and the devil, but we are also working hard to make disciples, build each other up in love, and being built up as a spiritual house. Build and battle.
