SAA Notes
The joy of this Passover comes from the fact that their experience is so similar to the Jews in Egypt under Pharaoh. Do we experience a similar joy when we celebrate the Lord’s Supper, or do we take it for granted?
SJA Notes
* Father God, You have given to us good precepts, let us not forsake Your teaching.
“Let the work on this house of God alone.”
How remarkable these words are, from the mouth of a pagan king from the world-power of the day.
This Darius had the witness of Daniel in his life. Think of the work that Darius did to try and deliver Daniel from the lion’s den. This king, the most powerful man of the time, spent a night in fasting for Daniel!
God works in the life of powerful earthly rulers.
Look at how God moved in Nebuchadnezzar’s life,
“Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, for all his works are right and his ways are just; and those who walk in pride he is able to humble.”
May we consider and affirm the witness of our Lord God at work in our own lives.
* God in Heaven,
Please save those around us Lord, our leaders and our neighbours, the elderly and the little ones – Lord may souls be brought into the kingdom!
Amen.
