Hymn
118 – Tune 117: God’s Power and Lasting
Peace
·
Daniel
and his three companions all trusted God, and they were prepared to commit
their lives for the belief they held
·
Paul
talked about Timothy’s faith, and explained how he had received it through his
mother and grandmother
·
Today
is Mothers Day in Australia, calling us to recognise the important role Mothers
play in influencing the lives of children
·
It
is likely that the faith held by Daniel and his friends was similarly nurtured
in them by their mothers as they were growing up
·
The
New Heavens (Jerusalem Above), for which we look, represents the Spirit of God
the Mother (Gal 4:26) – the Holy Ghost – Who will teach and lead us to truly follow
God
·
Through
the Power of God the Father and God the Mother, God’s people will withstand the
lion (Satan) and be tried by fire (fire of purification) to prove that they have
unfeigned faith in God
·
These
will be preserved wholly - without physical death - to meet Jesus Christ when
He returns to this earth.
