Grace for your spirit 4-13-16

Grace for your spirit
They read from the book, the book of God, translating to give the sense so that they understood the reading.  Nehemiah 8:8

These people just back from captivity, were hardly students of God's Law.  You could have left God's law with them, but it probably wouldn't have accomplished what needed to be done.  Ezra "spoon fed" them with the truth they needed.  Even today, people who are not spiritually appraised cannot flourish when we just throw a Bible at them and tell them to read and believe.  We need to read it together, translate, explain, and help them understand.  When will we understand?
