Whole Book PPGR (Daniel)…thoughts

Scripture Passage: Daniel

Main Theme: Jesus is the greater Daniel, the faithful Son who willingly entered our exile to redeem us from the kingdoms of this world and bring us into his everlasting kingdom.

Main idea: Jesus is the eternal Son of God and Son of Man who willingly entered our exile, suffered rejection and death, and rose victorious; he is the stone who crushes every earthly kingdom and the Son of Man who has received dominion, glory, and an everlasting kingdom, so that people from every nation and language might be delivered from exile and brought under his gracious reign to worship him forever.

Keyword: Kingdom

Principle: Humanity must humbly acknowledge God’s everlasting dominion over every kingdom (Dan. 4:34-37)

Problem: In pride, humanity rejects God’s dominion and seeks to establish its own kingdom apart from him (Dan. 4:30; 5:2-4)

Gospel: Jesus willingly entered our exile to redeem us from the dominion of sin and the kingdoms of this world and bring us into his everlasting kingdom (Dan. 7:13-14; 9:24–26)

Response: By the Spirit, we humbly live as faithful citizens under the dominion of Christ’s everlasting kingdom while surrounded by the kingdoms of this world (Dan. 1:8; 3:16-18; 6:5, 10, 13)
