Daniel 5:1-30
from Calvary Nexus Sunday Sermons · host Bruce Zachary
One of the great existential challenges to faith is the paradox of why the ungodly seem to thrive and, God allows His people to suffer. God reminds His people that they only suffer for a relatively brief time and then enjoy eternity with Him in Paradise. On the other hand, God will ultimately deal with the wicked and bring righteous judgment. The reality that God is righteous and just, and the wicked are punished should comfort us. We don’t take pleasure that the wicked will suffer, but rejoice that God is just, and righteousness will be restored. The reality of God’s coming judgment should also motivate us to live on mission.
