Dire Need
7 In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel saw a dream and visions of his head as he lay in his bed. Then he wrote down the dream and told the sum of the matter. 2 Daniel declared, “I saw in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of heaven were stirring up the great sea. 3 And four great beasts came up out of the sea, different from one another.

Dire Need
In the name of the Father and the +Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen. Alleluia! Christ is Risen! The Lord sends his Holy Spirit to reveal his Word to his people. The Holy Spirit speaks not of his own accord. He speaks only of what he has seen and heard. He declares to you the things of Christ. In days of old, he spoke to us through his prophets. Through Daniel he sent forth his word. Through dreams and visions, the Holy Spirit inspired Daniel to preach his Word to God’s people. Four great beasts come up out of the sea. Sin and death receive the due wages for their work. Jesus comes to rescue us out of the wrath and destruction our sin has caused us. Daniel’s dream shows us the seriousness of our situation and the dire need for a Savior. God has sent that Savior. He is Christ Jesus, our Lord. Jesus has conquered in the fight. He has rescued us from death and brings us to himself in heaven forever. Rejoice with Jesus that you are his own and that your debt has been paid. In the name of +Jesus. Amen.
