Daniel 6 - Day 850 (link to reading)
Scripture: Daniel 6:6-23 Commentary (workingpreacher.org): Daniel 6 provides three different perspectives on our own life. We may enter and examine times when we have misused our power in heinous ways like the presidents and satraps. We must examine the times when, like Darius, we refuse to stand up for injustice and remain passive and ineffectual. And we must also look at Daniel as a model for us on suffering innocence. I personally think that the Christological interpretation of Old Testament texts is way overdone in pulpits. But in this case, I believe that Daniel 6 warrants self-reflection on Christ. This will help us capture an essential part of the Advent, and prepare us for a rich season of reflection. Application: the Bible is still relevant for us today. There are still many lessons to be learned from every perspective. We just need to take the time to search and not just rely on the hero/heroine of the story. Prayer: Lord, please forgive my sins of omission as well as commission… Comments are closed.
