Highlights**** Kids and
people of any age can make good decisions to serve and obey the Lord – such
were three Hebrew young men we know by the names of Shadrach, Meshach and
Abednego. They knew that God did not
want them to bow down to the golden statue of the king. The penalty of disobeying the king was to be
thrown into the fiery furnace. The
three young friends obeyed God, instead of the king, and refused to bow before
the statue. Under penalty of the law,
they were thrown into the fiery furnace.
But, God did not allow them to be burned or even harmed by the
fire. When the king looked into the
fiery furnace he saw not three people, but four. The king saw the fourth person, an angel of
the Lord, sent to protect the three friends from the flames, to save them. That is exactly what Jesus does for us. He saves us from the fire – the Bible tells
us there is a lake of fire that burns night and day for eternity apart from
God. That lake of fire is the place of
punishment for the penalty of our sins, but when we accept what Jesus did on
the cross and make him the Lord of our life, Jesus saves us from that
punishment. We continue to see the plan
of salvation through the lives of ordinary people - this time, three young men who obeyed and
only served the Lord. Read about them in
Daniel 3.
