So far, we have seen Daniel has been faithfully trusting and obeying God’s command throughout his entire life. Now that he is serving under a new king in the Medo-Persian Empire, will Daniel continue to obey the God’s commands, or will he disobey God’s commands?
God judges Belshazzar for his pride (Daniel 5:1-31)
God humbles Nebuchadnezzar (Daniel 4:1-37)
God protects Daniel's friends (Daniel 3:1-30)
God uses Daniel to interpret the king's dream (Daniel 2:1-49)
God keeps His people safe (Esther 1:1-10:3)
God shows mercy to Jonah and Nineveh (Jonah 1:1-4:11)
God brings His wrath against Judah (2 Kings 21:1-21:18, 24:1-25:30)
God is glorified by protecting Judah (2 Kings 18:1–19:37)
We jump to another part of Israel’s history where Hezekiah becomes king over Judah. Hezekiah is a king like no other because he clung to the LORD. During his reign, a new king of Assyria rises with great power, blasphemes God, and threatens Judah. Will Hezekiah trust God against this powerful king with a mighty army or will he surrender?
Elijah and the prophets of Baal (1 Kings 16:29–17:1; 18:1–2, 17–46)
Jesus is Resurrected (Luke 23:50-24:53)
Jesus died as a righteous man in the place of sinners (Luke 22: 47–53, 23: 26–49)
Jesus was righteous to the very end. He died as a righteous man in the place of the unrighteous, bearing God’s wrath against sin. God accepted Christ’s perfect sacrifice for sin as sufficient and restored peace between God and man. Now any sinner who trusts in the sinless Savior can be clothed with His righteousness and enter God’s holy presence.
The Son of Man anticipates His death (Luke 22: 7–20, 39–46)
Each year Jesus had watched the Passover lamb be slaughtered; the Passover lamb was pointing to Him. He also taught His disciples that He was the final Passover lamb. Now, the time had come for him to be the final Passover lamb. Going to the cross is a very hard mission for Jesus, will He stay committed to His Father’s work and stayed true to His mission?
