The Love of the Father – Luke 17:11-32

Pastor Chris Parker

The story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego in Daniel 3 reveals their courageous refusal to worship King Nebuchadnezzar’s golden image. Despite the threat of death, they boldly declared that God could deliver them, but even if He didn’t, they would not bow (Daniel 3:16-18, KJV). Furious, Nebuchadnezzar had them thrown into a furnace heated seven times hotter, but as he looked, he saw not three but four men unharmed, with the fourth “like the Son of God” (Daniel 3:25, KJV). God’s miraculous deliverance not only preserved them but also led the king to honor their God.

This account highlights unwavering faith, showing that God is present even in life’s fiercest trials, protecting His own and bearing witness to His power.

“In Matthew 12:42, Jesus declares, ‘The queen of the south will rise at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for she came from the ends of the earth to listen to Solomon’s wisdom, and now something greater than Solomon is here.’ This profound statement not only underscores the extraordinary wisdom of Jesus but also serves as a challenge to His contemporaries. While the queen traveled great distances to seek out Solomon’s renowned understanding, Jesus, the embodiment of divine wisdom, stood among them, calling them to recognize the greater truth that He represented.”

Genesis 21 reveals true worship through Abraham and Sarah’s response to God’s fulfilled promise. God gave them Isaac in their old age, and they named him “laughter,” recognizing the joy and grace God brought into their lives (Genesis 21:6, KJV). Abraham’s obedience in circumcising Isaac on the eighth day further demonstrated worship through commitment to God’s commands (Genesis 21:4).
