My life has been transformed.
A formerly hateful, abusive, and angry individual, I have now been reconciled to God through the blood of Christ. This reconciliation, through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, has impacted my life in intensely vivid ways.
Relationships with several of my family members and friends, once bruised and crushed, have been completely restored and rectified - Something that I had previously thought to be impossible. Destructive habits and attitudes that were once a significant part of my life - such as struggles with self-worth, pornography, lust, and envy - have been eliminated and defeated. I have gained a sense of purpose and passion in my life that I could not achieve on my own.
The following post is an exegesis (critical interpretation and explanation) of a section of scripture in Daniel chapter 1.
Bryce Zeigle authored this as a paper in 2010 for his Old Testament class at Wheaton College in Illinois and he has now offered to have it posted here for others to read and reflect upon. Selections have been edited and formatted with his permission to improve readability and overall quality.
