Iain Duguid wrote a powerful reminder for us about the contrast between the golden statue erected by the ancient king Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon and the humble cross on which Christ Jesus our Lord was crucified for our sins.
In his commentary on Daniel 3, he reminds us of the centrality of Christ’s cross in building God’s kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.
“No one has to force us to bow to Christ. It is our joy and delight to throw ourselves down at his pierced feet. The cross is the towering symbol that binds God’s empire together as one.”
