Unjust Death

What happens when one is innocent, yet found guilty and condemned to die? Sometimes this happens physically, and sometimes relationally.

In Daniel chapter 14, we have the story of Susanna as an illustration of how wise Daniel was. As a young man, Daniel already was able to see thru the subterfuge of the old elders who judged in the name of the Lord, yet did all for their own desires.

Susanna was delivered, just as Daniel was delivered from the lions and Jeremiah was given strength to endure to the end. These three contemporaries were each delivered in their own way, just as God will deliver us when we are unjustly condemned.

God provides people of wisdom to stand with those in need. Perhaps we might be a Daniel to someone who is condemned.

May God make us Daniels.
