Will King Cyrus of Persia be in heaven? Was he a child of God? We may not have enough information to make a judgment on that, but as Pastor Bill will point out in today’s message, this leader – the most powerful in the world at his time – was used as an instrument by God. He was used to accomplishing good, despite worshipping other idols and having many other faults. This isn’t a testament to the greatness of Cyrus or justification for his sin, but it shows the power of our God and the way He works in this world.
