The Greek philosopher Heraclitus said, “There is nothing permanent except change.” As we conclude our study of the Book of Daniel this Sunday we will be reminded that our future is not held in the hands of terrorists, the next president, the House, the Senate, The Supreme Court, a disgruntled boss or teacher, or a rogue biochemical or biological process. Our future is in the hands of a sovereign God who loves us completely, who sits on the throne and rules the world. We are called, once again, to place our hope, our trust in the one Daniel points to, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.
