God of the Exiles

 (ID: 3097)

Although they were captives in Babylon, Daniel and his friends submitted to their captors, even through changes in location, education, and identification. When required to surrender the dietary practices that marked them as God’s own people, however, they resisted. As Alistair Begg leads us through Daniel 1, we see that it provides not so much a strategy to cope with trying times but comfort and encouragement to be faithful. The focus of the story is not Daniel but the God that he worshipped.
