Jesus will be with you in the fire!

Continuing on from yesterday. The three Jews did not bow to the golden image as commanded by the King. This made him very angry and he commanded them to throw the three Jews into the fire. The fire was so hot it killed the men who threw the Jews into the fire! This is where we pick it up today:



Daniel 3:24-25



24 Then King Nebuchadnezzar was astonished; and he rose in haste and spoke, saying to his counselors, “Did we not cast three men bound into the midst of the fire?”

They answered and said to the king, “True, O king.”

25 “Look!” he answered, “I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire; and they are not hurt, and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.”



When we stand for our Lord Jesus, He will be with you. In the good times or in the fire. I have read so many accounts over history of how Jesus was with those who were standing firm for Him. Some resulted in death and some were able to live. The point is Jesus WILL BE with us! I think of the Stephen the Martyr...the only time in the Bible we see Jesus standing at the right hand of God to receive one of His own:



Acts 7:54-60



54 When they heard these things they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed at him with their teeth. 55 But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God, 56 and said, “Look! I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!”

57 Then they cried out with a loud voice, stopped their ears, and ran at him with one accord; 58 and they cast him out of the city and stoned him. And the witnesses laid down their clothes at the feet of a young man named Saul. 59 And they stoned Stephen as he was calling on God and saying, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” 60 Then he knelt down and cried out with a loud voice, “Lord, do not charge them with this sin.” And when he had said this, he fell asleep.



Jesus was there with Stephen and He will be there will those who have put their trust in Him!



Keep the faith my friends!
