Grace Chapel
Welcome to Grace Chapel! The last four verses of Daniel 9 are considered some of the hardest verses — but most important — in the whole Old Testament. The way Daniel was given a promise of a future restoration shows us that God cares and has a plan for His final power and glory to prevail over the evil in this world.
DO Try this at home…but be careful.
BELIEVE IT… God kept His promises in the PAST and He will in the FUTURE. (vv. 24-25)
Daniel 9:24-25 ESV
6 things that The Anointed One will do:
· “finish the transgression”
· “put an end to sin”
· “atone for iniquity”
· “bring in everlasting righteousness”
· “seal both vision and prophet”
· “anoint the most holy (One or place)”
Justification
RELY ON IT… Christ was FORSAKEN so we never have to be. (v. 26)
Daniel 9:26 ESV
WAIT FOR IT… Christ made a new PROMISE that gives us an eternal HOPE. (v. 27)
Who is “He?”
Hebrew: Higbir
“Make a strong covenant”
“Confirm”
WAIT = TRUST
With Christ, Hindsight and Foresight are 20/20.
This week I will…
· Write down ten promises of God and carry them with me this week, choosing to trust that God always keeps His promises.
· Draw close to God through prayer 2-3 times a day, knowing that I am accepted because Christ was forsaken for me.
· Read Daniel 9 through 12 this week.
· Do three acts of kindness for others to cultivate a heart of selflessness and build my joy in serving as a part of God’s Kingdom.
