Sermon Notes
Jesus: The Greatest Hero ~ Daniel 7
- A “hero” is a person of great courage and character, a role model, or a person of great valor who makes sacrifices for others. In all of these descriptions, Jesus is the greatest Hero.
- In the world there are kings and kingdoms that rise and fall (7:1-8, 15-26)
- Daniel saw a vision of 4 kingdoms that would impact God’s people: Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome
- These produced frightful and unsure times that challenged the faith of God’s people, times that needed hope and rescue
- Hope and rescue are in King Jesus and his eternal kingdom (7:9-28)
- God is still sovereign over all
- Jesus rules as the great King
- His kingdom is already present in the world but not yet fully manifested in its glory
- King Jesus shares his kingdom with his people
- Live as one rescued and made righteous by Jesus through faith as you spread his fame (7:18)
- Trust Jesus to turn all wrongs to rights and do not fear the world powers (7:21-22)
- Look forward to ruling with Jesus and so display his goodness and mission (7:27, 12:1-3)
