Daniel #9 - Daniel 9

Decades of exile could make Israel wonder whether God was harsh or had abandoned His people. Daniel reads Jeremiah's promise, confesses Israel's sin, and prays to the merciful God who keeps His word. Grace leaves no room for demands. God's answer through the angel Gabriel points to Jesus, the anointed one who pays for sin and brings lasting righteousness. Because Jesus opens the way to God, prayer can be humble and confident, shaped by God's good and gracious character. Bible Reference: Daniel 9 Preacher: KJ Tromp
