Text: Daniel 6:10 / Mathew 27:3 – 7 Aim: For Christians to treasure God’s love more than worldly gains. INTRODUCTION: Our texts highlight the choices of two men – Daniel and Judas Iscariot. Daniel had grown to become governor of governors in the land of slavery (Babylon). This was largely due to his unfeigned faith in God. A law was made that was aimed at victimizing him if he chose to continue his walk with God. Judas Iscariot was the treasurer among the disciples of Jesus Christ. He betrayed his Master when he decided to bargain with the Chief priest and elder for thirty (30) pieces of Silver. He realized too late that he could not undo what he has done and hanged himself. QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION: 1. What important decisions did Daniel make that helped his life? Daniel 1:8; 6:4, 5, 10 II Cor: 6:14 – 18 – To be undefiled (holy), separate, faithful, obedient, to God. 2. How was Judas Iscariot different from Daniel? Matt 26: 14 – 16, 24; 27:3-5, I Tim 6:10, Psm 1:4 – 6...
