DANIEL 6

7 We are all in agreement—we administrators, officials, high officers, advisers, and governors—that the king should make a law that will be strictly enforced. Give orders that for the next thirty days any person who prays to anyone, divine or human—except to you, Your Majesty—will be thrown into the den of lions.

8 And now, Your Majesty, issue and sign this law so it cannot be changed, an official law of the Medes and Persians that cannot be revoked."
9 So King Darius signed the law.

11 Then the officials went together to Daniel's house and found him praying and asking for God's help.

13 Then they told the king, "That man Daniel, one of the captives from Judah, is ignoring you and your law. He still prays to his God three times a day."

22 My God sent his angel to shut the lions' mouths so that they would not hurt me, for I have been found innocent in his sight. And I have not wronged you, Your Majesty."

27 He rescues and saves his people; he performs miraculous signs and wonders in the heavens and on earth. He has rescued Daniel from the power of the lions."

JOHN 3:16

16 "For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.

Moses Goes Down

EXODUS 2
11 Many years later, when Moses had grown up, he went out to visit his own people, the Hebrews, and he saw how hard they were forced to work. During his visit, he saw an Egyptian beating one of his fellow Hebrews.
12 After looking in all directions to make sure no one was watching, Moses killed the Egyptian and hid the body in the sand.

JOHN 3:16
16 "For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.

EXODUS 3

EXODUS 4
27 Now the LORD had said to Aaron, "Go out into the wilderness to meet Moses." So Aaron went and met Moses at the mountain of God, and he embraced him.
28 Moses then told Aaron everything the LORD had commanded him to say. And he told him about the miraculous signs the LORD had commanded him to perform.

EXODUS 5
22 Then Moses went back to the LORD and protested, "Why have you brought all this trouble on your own people, Lord? Why did you send me?

EXODUS 9:14
14 If you don't, I will send more plagues on you* and your officials and your people. Then you will know that there is no one like me in all the earth.

EXODUS 12:21-22
21 Then Moses called all the elders of Israel together and said to them, "Go, pick out a lamb or young goat for each of your families, and slaughter the Passover animal.
22 Drain the blood into a basin. Then take a bundle of hyssop branches and dip it into the blood. Brush the hyssop across the top and sides of the doorframes of your houses. And no one may go out through the door until morning.


EXODUS 14:15-16
15 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Why are you crying out to me? Tell the people to get moving!
16 Pick up your staff and raise your hand over the sea. Divide the water so the Israelites can walk through the middle of the sea on dry ground.

26 When all the Israelites had reached the other side, the LORD said to Moses, "Raise your hand over the sea again. Then the waters will rush back and cover the Egyptians and their chariots and charioteers."
27 So as the sun began to rise, Moses raised his hand over the sea, and the water rushed back into its usual place. The Egyptians tried to escape, but the LORD swept them into the sea.
28 Then the waters returned and covered all the chariots and charioteers—the entire army of Pharaoh. Of all the Egyptians who had chased the Israelites into the sea, not a single one survived.

How did Daniel's life of integrity affect others?

Hints:
Daniel 6:25-26
25 Then King Darius sent this message to the people of every race and nation and language throughout the world: "Peace and prosperity to you!
26"I decree that everyone throughout my kingdom should tremble with fear before the God of Daniel.
For he is the living God, and he will endure forever. His kingdom will never be destroyed, and his rule will never end.

Acts 1:8
8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."

Answer:

Daniel was a man of integrity. This quality influenced people and nations. In Daniel 6:25-26, King Darius sent a message to the people of every race and nation and language throughout the world. He told them to respect and fear Daniel’s God, the living God whose kingdom will never be destroyed and who performs miracles. Daniel’s integrity had a ripple effect. In the same way, our integrity can also influence the people around us. Remember, God will enable you to live a life of integrity.

How can we learn from Daniel how to do what is right?

Hints:
Daniel 1:82
8 But Daniel was determined not to defile himself by eating the food and wine given to them by the king. He asked the chief of staff for permission not to eat these unacceptable foods.
Timothy 3:16-17
16 All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right.
17 God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.

Answer:
In Daniel 1:8, we read that, "Daniel was determined not to defile himself." We make decisions on what we believe is right. That’s why it is important to know what we believe and why we believe it. You can know what to believe by reading the Bible. The Bible says that "all Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right" (2 Timothy 3:16).

Why should we tell people about Jesus?

Hints: Acts 1:8 Matthew 28:19-20

Answer:
Christians believe in a risen Savior. Jesus is the Son of God who rose from the dead and is alive. His burial tomb is empty. Your faith is not in a dead person or a stone idol but in a living person. He loves you and is present with you through God, the Holy Spirit. Obey Jesus and tell others that He is alive. Pass on the good news. Tell people about Him everywhere (Acts 1:8).

In Matthew 28:19-20, Jesus encouraged his followers to, "[G]o and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age." This is what is referred to as the Great Commission.

He is risen

John 3
16 "For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.

Matthew 26
48 The traitor, Judas, had given them a prearranged signal: "You will know which one to arrest when I greet him with a kiss."
49 So Judas came straight to Jesus. "Greetings, Rabbi!" he exclaimed and gave him the kiss.

John 18
11 But Jesus said to Peter, "Put your sword back into its sheath. Shall I not drink from the cup of suffering the Father has given me?"

37 Pilate said, "So you are a king?"
  Jesus responded, "You say I am a king. Actually, I was born and came into the world to testify to the truth. All who love the truth recognize that what I say is true."

38 "What is truth?" Pilate asked. Then he went out again to the people and told them, "He is not guilty of any crime.

John 19
17 Carrying the cross by himself, he went to the place called Place of the Skull (in Hebrew, Golgotha).

25 Standing near the cross were Jesus' mother, and his mother's sister, Mary (the wife of Clopas), and Mary Magdalene.

26 When Jesus saw his mother standing there beside the disciple he loved, he said to her, "Dear woman, here is your son."

27 And he said to this disciple, "Here is your mother." And from then on this disciple took her into his home.

Matthew 27
50 Then Jesus shouted out again, and he released his spirit.

51 At that moment the curtain in the sanctuary of the Temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. The earth shook, rocks split apart,

52 and tombs opened. The bodies of many godly men and women who had died were raised from the dead.

John 20
11 Mary was standing outside the tomb crying, and as she wept, she stooped and looked in.

12 She saw two white-robed angels, one sitting at the head and the other at the foot of the place where the body of Jesus had been lying.

13 "Dear woman, why are you crying?" the angels asked her.
  "Because they have taken away my Lord," she replied, "and I don't know where they have put him."

14 She turned to leave and saw someone standing there. It was Jesus, but she didn't recognize him.

15 "Dear woman, why are you crying?" Jesus asked her. "Who are you looking for?"
  She thought he was the gardener. "Sir," she said, "if you have taken him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will go and get him."

16 "Mary!" Jesus said.
  She turned to him and cried out, "Rabboni!" (which is Hebrew for "Teacher").

King Solomon

1 King 2
1 As the time of King David's death approached, he gave this charge to his son Solomon:

1 King 3
7 "Now, O LORD my God, you have made me king instead of my father, David, but I am like a little child who doesn't know his way around.

16 Some time later two prostitutes came to the king to have an argument settled.

28 When all Israel heard the king's decision, the people were in awe of the king, for they saw the wisdom God had given him for rendering justice.

John 3

16 "For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.

Will God gave me wisdom and direction?

Hints: 1 Kings 3:10

10 The Lord was pleased that Solomon had asked for wisdom.

Answer:

King David had died and now his son Solomon was on the throne. How would he handle the responsibility and the pressure of leading God’s people? Who could he go to for trusted help? Solomon did the right thing; with a humble heart he turned to God and asked for wisdom. Solomon described himself as like being a little child who didn’t know his way around. He told God that no man could do such an important job alone. He sought the Lord’s direction and discernment to know right from wrong. God gave Solomon what he asked for. He made Solomon wiser than anyone on the earth. And, God was so pleased with Solomon’s request that God gave him what he didn’t ask for; riches and fame! Solomon was also promised a long life if he obeyed God’s commands. Solomon used God’s wisdom to give judgment for a heartbreaking situation with two mothers and their babies. “When all Israel heard the king’s decision, the people were in awe of the king, for they saw the wisdom God had given him for rendering justice.” (1 Kings 3:28). Solomon asked for wisdom and God gave it to him and much more. What would you answer if God asked you the same question that He asked Solomon? Proverbs 4:7 says simply, “Getting wisdom is the wisest thing you can do!” Wisdom begins and ends with God. God is our endless source of knowledge and understanding for every decision in this life. All we need to do is ask. “If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking.” (James 1:5).

Do I need to love others?

Hints: 1 Kings 3:9
9 Give me an understanding heart so that I can govern your people well and know the difference between right and wrong. For who by himself is able to govern this great people of yours?"

Answer:

God came to Solomon in a dream and told Solomon he could have anything he wanted. Solomon did not selfishly ask for riches and fame. Solomon said, “Give me an understanding heart so that I can govern your people well and know the difference between right and wrong. For who by himself is able to govern this great people of yours?” (1 Kings 3:9). Solomon’s prayer was to receive God’s help to rule God’s people. He wanted to make good decisions and judge according to God’s Word and will. Solomon loved and cared for God’s people. He cared enough to make this request above anything else he could have asked for! To truly love God, we must also love His people. There are no exceptions! 1 John 4:7-8 says, “Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God. But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love.” God is not just filled with love; He IS love; the source of love! Think of what these verses say - If we don’t love one another, we do not know God! This Passage makes it clear that loving God and others go hand and hand. Jesus replied, “‘you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’” (Matthew 22:37-39). How important is it to love God and others? Jesus said it was the second most important commandment and just as important as the first commandment! God is love; so since we are made in His image, we were created to love too! (1 John 4:16; Genesis 1:27).
