God’s love, which is stronger than death, is causing me to continue walking the path of the mission the Lord has given me (John 6:1–15). “At that very time some Pharisees came and said to Him, ‘Leave this place and go somewhere else. Herod wants to kill You.’ He replied, ‘Go tell that fox, “I will keep driving out demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach My goal.” In any case, I must press on today and tomorrow and the next day—for surely no prophet can die outside Jerusalem! Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing. Look, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you, you will not see Me again until you say, “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord” (Luke 13:31–35). ...
The salvation and
judgment of God are astonishing.
King
Darius ordered that the men who had accused Daniel
be
brought and thrown into the lion’s den, along with their families.
Before
they even reached the floor of the den,
the
lions pounced and crushed all their bones
(Daniel
6:24).
Isn’t
that extraordinary?
Clearly,
when Daniel was thrown into the lion’s den,
the
lions did not harm him
(because
God’s angel had shut the lions' mouths) (v. 22).
Yet,
it is astonishing that the very people
who
accused the innocent Daniel were torn apart
by
the lions before even reaching the bottom of the den.
Thus,
the salvation and judgment of God are astonishing.
Even
more remarkable is that the holy God the Father,
in
His desire to save us, who are full of sins (God's salvation),
poured
out all His wrath upon His sinless and innocent Son,
Jesus
Christ, and judged Him on the cross (God’s judgment).
